At headquarters in Greene Ville, Maj. Gen. Anthony Wayne, commander-in-chief of the United States Army and Indian Peace Commissioner, kindled the Council Fire on June 16, 1795, and it burned until the official consummation of the Treaty of Greene Ville on August 3, 1795. Ninety sachems, war-chiefs, and agents signed the peace pact, and 1130 Indians were present representing the Delawares, Pottawattomies, Wyandots, Shawanese, Miamis, and related tribes including the Chippewas, Ottawas, Kickapoos, and Kaskaskias. The treaty closed forty years of warfare with the Indian tribes of the old northwest, made effective the Treaty of Paris signed in 1783 and the Ordinance of 1787, opened the flood-gates to western immigration, and eventually made possible the building of a vast nation out of what had originally been a few isolated seaboard colonies.
