I am interested to know if anyone knows if any of the wyandots that stayed behind were just integrated into the white community? Am wondering what the possibilities were that a young woman might stay behind as a domestic servant.

I think that it is definitely the case that some Ohio Indians stayed behind after the forced migration west and attempted to assimilate to white culture, or at least lived on the fringes of it. Bill Moose is one case in point. He was a full Wyandot Indian who stayed in Ohio after the migration and lived in Columbus until the time of his death in 1937. I'm sure there are others who may have stayed to work as domestics or who worked on the fringes of white society.

An excellent site on the present day Wyandotte that has a lot of their history is: www.Wyandotte Nation.org |

Here is a link to the book "A Sorrowful Journey" by Randall L. Buchman "The Removal of the Native Americans from Ohio, as a result of the Removal Act of 1830, is a significant story untold in Ohio. The Removal is more than a page in history; it is the transplanting of people and their culture by force by a government. Uprooted and struggling for survival, the Native Americans lost many aspects of their culture and identity" www.ohiohistorystore.com/A-Sorrowful-Journey-P8412C63.aspx |
