people were an Iroquois group that migrated west to the Ohio River Valley in the mid-eighteenth century 1850s
and formed their own distinct identity their. This conflicted, however, with the hordes of white settlers, who vied with them for control of the region, and a series of battles ensued, with the Mingo led by Chief Logan
. Despite some pockets of resistance, the Mingo were crushed, and the surviving members of the group mixed with the larger Shawnee[?]
peoples. The Mingo were finally defeated by the United States
and forced to move to a reservation in the west.
