Walk-in-the-Water First Nations

Walk-in-the-Water was a chief of the Wyandot who, when first approached by Tecumseh to ally with the British, remained neutral, unlike another Wyandot chief, Roundhead. After the British success at capturing Fort Mackinac, Walk-in-the Water brought his followers to side with the British. He was involved in scouting operations leading up to the Battle of Detroit. He saw action at Brownstown, where he prevented the Americans led by General William Hull in Fort Detroit, from receiving badly needed supplies. He is also known to have been at the Battle of Frenchtown.
