  • Summary

  • In this episode, we dig into the remarkable life of Quatawapea, also known as Colonel John Lewis, a Shawnee leader born around 1760 in Ohio. From his involvement in the Revolutionary and Northwest Indian Wars to leading his people to Shawnee Town in what is now Yellville, Arkansas, Quatawapea sought to create an autonomous Indian Nation while resisting American expansion and preserving Shawnee culture. We highlight his diplomatic efforts, including his interactions with figures like William Clark and his recognition by President Thomas Jefferson, who awarded him the Presidential Peace Medal; and President Andrew Jackson. Join us as we explore Quatawapea's legacy of leadership, diplomacy, and cultural preservation during the pressures of westward expansion and the Trail of Tears.
