Scrimshaw...A family tradition GREENVILLE – The Gathering at Garst is honored to host so many talented artists. Ashley Burton and her mother Sylvia Merkel, from Liberty, IN, have set up in the Living History Encampment each year demonstrating the art of scrimshaw. Be sure to stop in and visit with them and see their beautiful items. In her own words, Ashley tells how she learned this fascinating art. “I was lucky to have been raised by a practicing scrimshander. As a child, I watched my mother create beautiful
scrimshaw art. I had a talent for sketching and drawing at a young age and my mother was always encouraging me to try my hand at scrimshaw. It wasn’t until I was 20 that I finally picked up and practiced this traditional art form. Scrimshaw is one of the very few arts that is considered to be an American Art. The history of scrimshaw is rich and fascinating. When a market for whaling existed, sailors could be out to sea for months and even years on whaling expeditions. You can imagine with all that time at
sea, the sailors had time to burn. The word “scrimshaw” is derived from a Dutch or English nautical slang expression. This expression, from a consensus, means “to waste time.” This is exactly how scrimshaw came about. While at sea, sailors would use whale’s teeth to scratch pictures of home, their ship, their captain, or even a sweetheart to keep as a reminder while they were between important tasks on the ship. This art very likely kept many sailors from becoming stir crazy in cramped and unfavorable living conditions. Sperm Whale teeth were the preferred teeth as they were plentiful and small enough to store away in a sailor’s sea chest. This art was also practiced by early settlers in the New World. Their powder horns were doubly functional as they would keep their gunpowder dry as well as provide a map of specific trails or territories. Some soldiers were even known to scrimshaw maps with battles they had fought and survived throughout our early history.
Burton said, “Scrimshaw is truly a heritage art. My mother and I work diligently to not let it fade and remain in the past. We must encourage others to treasure our heritage no matter what form it may take.”

Who are the Tribes of the Treaty? GREENVILE – In 2014, the Gathering at Garst is commemorating the bicentennial of the 1814 Treaty of Greene Ville, christened at the time as “A treaty of peace and friendship.” The treaty was an agreement between the United States and five main tribes of Native Americans: Wyandots, Delawares, Shawnees, Senecas, and Miamies. The Treaty was signed on July 22, and it was agreed upon in order to secure peace between the Miami, Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Kickapoo tribes and the Wyandot, Delaware, Shawnee, and Seneca people. The other aims of the treaty were centered around issues of protection, allegiance, and commitment to prior promises. The main tribes who were signatories of the treaty have rich histories that have occupied the careers of countless anthropologists, historians, and academics. Here are the short versions of those rich histories.
WYANDOT
The Wyandot were not a tribe at all, but a confederation of at least four distinct tribes: the Attignawantans, the Attigneenongnahacs, the Arendarhonons,
RETAIL CENTER
and the Tahontaenrats. They were first encountered by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1615 in the area that is now Ontario around the Georgian Bay, which is an inlet of Lake Huron. In the time after their first contact with European people, they were forced to disperse in two groups because of war and disease, one heading south to Ohio, Michigan and Ontario, the other headed east to Quebec. Those in the former group that settled in the region of the western Great Lakes-comprised of about 1,000 Hurons, Tionontatis, and Neutrals--came to be known as the Wyandot.
DELAWARE
The Delaware people’s autonym (the name they called themselves) was “Lenape,” which means “the common or ordinary people.” They inhabited all of what is now New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York State, northern Delaware, and a small section of southeastern Connecticut, an area the Delaware called “Lenapehoking.” The Tribes of the Treaty continued on page 7

Tribes of the Treaty continued from page 6 Delaware practiced a matrilineal form of kinship, which meant that children belonged to the mother’s clan and looked to their oldest maternal uncle to form their most important male relationship. The first encounter with European settlers occurred sometime in the early 1620s, perhaps in the area settled as New Amsterdam (now New York City). While it was the hope of the Delaware to establish Ohio as a state inhabited only by Native Americans, they were ultimately forced westward by settlers. SHAWNEE Some trace the Shawnee all the way back to the mound-building prehistorical Fort Ancient culture of Ohio, though some view that connection as specious. The Shawnee originally dwelled in the area that is now Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania. Though many think of them as a wandering people, that was actually a trait that had more to do with necessity than choice, as they were twice chased from their native land. Two of the most well-known Shawnee are Tecumseh and Bluejacket. Tecumseh seems to particularly live on in the popu-
lar imagination as the proud leader who fought tirelessly to resist the western expansion of European settlers, clashing against William Henry Harrison in the Battle of Fallen Timbers and refusing to sign the first Treaty of Greenville which relinquished large parcels of land that Native Americans viewed as rightfully theirs. SENECA The Seneca inhabited what is now New York in the area between the Genesee River and Canandaigua Lake. The Seneca were a matriarchal culture, with the women holding ownership of all of the land and homes of the tribe. The Seneca built villages they inhabited for periods of 10 to 20 years and surrounded with palisades to make them more resilient in the face of attack. They were known for their willingness to adapt their European neighbors’ customs, going so far as to build log cabins and practice Christianity. Though the Treaty of Buffalo Creek dictated that the Seneca were to move west of the state of Missouri, most refused to comply, instead remaining in New York and forming an elected government in 1848, the Seneca Nation of Indians.

Wisconsin, the Miami—who called themselves “Myaamia,” meaning “downstream people”—were forced southward and eastward by the Beaver Wars and the more-powerful Iroquois until they wound up settling on the banks of the upper Wabash River in what is now northwestern Ohio. Ultimately, the Miami occupied
territory that is contemporaneously identified as Indiana, southwest Michigan, and western Ohio. By 1846, the Miami had been forced westward into what is now the Indian Territory of Oklahoma as a result of the Treaty of Mississinwas. Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, is named for the tribe.

Reenactors come to show with a bang GREENVILLE – Thunderous, bone-rattling, downright earthshaking-loud is how to describe the cannon ďŹ ring demonstrations at the Gathering at Garst. Make sure you visit the living history encampment and step back in time. The encampment is set up in a timeline manner dating from 1750-1865. Re-enactors in period clothing demonstrate what life was like back in the day. Watch the blacksmith hammer out iron into useful tools, the basket weaver weaving ďŹ ne baskets, the box maker working his ďŹ ne skills. Many battles took place during these times from the Revolutionary
War thru the Civil War. You will see what their camps were like and smell the gunpowder used to fuel their guns and cannons. Don’t hesitate to ask questions as the folks are friendly and eager to share their knowledge with visitors. The cannon demonstrations will take place both days throughout the day along with skirmishes, storytelling and Native American games and dances. When you look over at the encampment area and see people covering their ears you will know it’s time for a big BOOM!

Native American Peace & Friendship Gathering GREENVILLE – In 2014, the Gathering at Garst is commemorating the bicentennial of the second signing of the Treaty of Greenville, christened at the time as “A treaty of peace and friendship.” As we reflect on this time in our history, let us remember, treaty promises may have been unfulfilled, but the story should never be forgotten. The following information is from the Crossroads of Destiny exhibit at Garst Museum. An Unfulfilled Promise Out of the land that was to know them no more forever. The first treaty ceded to the United States what is now the southern two-
thirds of the state of Ohio. All hostilities were to cease. Indians received $20,000 at the signing and were to receive $9,500 in goods distributed annually. Wayne promised them as “Children of the Fifteen Fires” (the United States) they would be under “the protecting wings of her eagle.” The U.S. gave up “their claims to all other Indian lands northward of the river Ohio, eastward of the Mississippi and westward and southward of the Great Lakes. The Indians were “quietly to enjoy” this land “so long as they please.” Obviously, this did not happen. A second treaty was signed here

in July 1814. Wyandot, Delaware, Shawnee, Ottawa, Seneca and Miami tribes agreed to become active allies in the war of 1812. In return the Indians were to keep the land they owned before the war. Subsequent treaties chipped away at Indian lands. Finally the Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to the forced emigration of tens of thousands to the West. The Treaty of Greene Ville opened the door to settlement in Ohio. The population reached 60,000 in just eight years, qualifying the region for statehood. Indian pride, persistence, and te-
nacity continue. “When the sun comes up tomorrow in these United States there will always be an Ottawa Tribe…as long as the grass grows and the river flows.” -Charles Dawes, Ottawa Chief, 1995 “The treaty represents to our people nothing but sorrow.” -Glenna J. Wallace, Chief of the Eastern Band of the Oklahoma Shawnee, July 2007 “Greenville led to considerable human happiness purchased at the price of considerable human misery.” -Andrew Cayton, Greenville, August 3, 1995, during the Treaty’s bicentennial.

We are proud to be a part of Darke County.
Welcome to the Garst Museum GREENVILLE – “Welcome to the Garst Museum.” If you haven’t heard those words lately, you haven’t been to Darke County’s Best Kept Secret. The Garst Museum is located in Greenville and got its name from the Garst Family, who donated their home to the Darke County Historical Society in 1946. The Garst house was built in 1852 and the Garst Family moved into it in 1861. The house was originally meant to become an inn for the travelers on the D, G and U railroad, but the gentleman who built it, George Coover, was killed in a stagecoach accident and his dream never came to fruition. The Garst family was made up of 13 children. The last surviving child, Nellie Garst Menke and the grandchildren, donated it to the Historical Society to be used as a museum. It was dedicated and opened in 1949. Visitors are always surprised at the amount of space that constitutes the six venues of the museum. The most popular attractions are the National Annie Oakley Center, the Keepers of Freedom military exhibit, and the Crossroads of Destiny exhibit. Crossroads of Destiny is made up of information and artifacts about the treaty of Greene Ville, signed in 1795. This treaty opened up the Northwest Territory to settlement. The museum contains 35,000 square feet and there is something for everyone, young and old. The schools of Darke County and surrounding counties take advantage of the history that is contained in the museum. If you visit the museum in the spring or fall, you will hear the voices of our future teachers and leaders filling the halls of the museum on a class trip. Knowledgeable docents guide them through the varied exhibits.
The museum’s success is due to the many dedicated volunteers and contributions from the community. It receives no tax money or other public funding and is dependent on the generosity of the people and businesses of Darke County for upkeep and day to day operations. “The Annie’s Wild West Gala” and “The Gathering at Garst” are the major fundraisers for the museum. The Gala is held in June and “The Gathering” is the last weekend of July. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 1-4 p.m. on Sundays. The cost for entrance to the museum is $8 for adults, $7 for those over 60, $5 for
6 to 17 and no charge for those younger than 6. The museum is closed on Mondays and for the month of Janu-
ary, plus major holidays. For information, visit www.garstmuseum.org.

Planting large trees takes a lot of man-power. Pictured here are Spencer Landscaping employees working to plant new trees at the Garst Museum.
Spencers gives to The Gathering GREENVILLE – The Gathering at Garst Committee would like to recognize Spencer Landscaping for its continued support of The Gathering at Garst. This is the fourth year that Spencer’s has generously donated to the landscaping on the grounds. Garst museum received a significant donation this spring from the family of museum director, Dr. Clay Johnson. This donation was used to enhance the museum grounds with the planting of 24 large trees. Spencer Landscaping worked with the museum to implement this project and they also donated additional funds to help complete the project.

Celebrating the second Treaty On July 22, 1814, a treaty of peace and friendship was signed between the United States of America and several Native American tribes including the Wyandots, Delawares, JIM BUCHY Shawanoese, Senecas, OHIO REPRESENTATIVE and Miamies. Signed in Greenville, this treaty established peace as well as an alliance between Native American tribes and the United States against Great Britain in the War of 1812. This historical and instrumental treaty celebrated its bicentennial this year. As a result, the 128th General Assembly of Ohio created the Ohio War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission. The commission works to spread awareness about Ohio’s important role in the war and recognition of those who served.
A few months ago the state legislature determined that it would fund a commemoration of the Second Treaty of Greenville by assisting with the construction of the Native American Bower which is being built at Prairie Ridge Meadow. It is a reconstruction of the building under which the Second Treaty of Greenville was signed. On July 24, the Treaty of Greenville Bicentennial Commission and the Darke County Park District are hosting a banquet in observance of the War of 1812 Peace and Friendship Summit. The banquet will take place at the Shawnee Prairie Nature Center. This ceremony will celebrate the 2nd Treaty of Greenville and its role in shaping America’s history. On July 25 a separate ceremony will take place to dedicate the new Native American Bower. This ceremony will include the Peace Wampum Belt Pre-
sentation. These are both very important events that I would encourage all residents of Darke County to join me in attending. This is very special for the history of our families here in Darke County. Because of all of these exciting events, many historical treasures from the signing of the 2nd Treaty of Greenville will be on display. These artifacts include one of three original silver peace pipes given at the signing as gifts. They will be

on display until Labor Day weekend. Events will be taking place on the 24th, 25th, and 26th and all are welcome. The festivities will include storytelling, reenactments, and immersion into what life was like in Greenville around the time of the signing. If you would like to participate in these events, contact Deb Shiverdecker at 548-0165; please note an RSVP is needed to attend the War of 1812 Peace and Friendship Summit banquet.

Writing our history on flint GREENVILLE – In keeping with the theme, “Native American Peace and Friendship Gathering’, the Gathering at Garst will host a special archaeology exhibit provided by local members of The Archaeological Society of Ohio. Founded in 1941, it is the oldest and largest archaeological society in the United States. The Society was organized to discover and conserve archaeological sites and material in Ohio; to seek and promote a better understanding among students and collectors of archaeological material, both professional and non-professional; and to disseminate knowledge on the subject of archaeology. Their membership is made up of people from all walks of life, from every state in the nation, many foreign countries, and includes libraries, historical societies, colleges and universities. It was once said that most of the history of mankind could be written in flint. When man first realized that a spall, inadvertently struck from a flint boulder, had sharp edges and could be used to cut with, and more importantly, that he could repeat the process and obtain more useful pieces, he became a tool maker. With the first purposeful altering of stone, man began a technology which would last for hundreds of thousands of years and eventually was carried into the Ohio area. Given the reliance on flint tools and projectile points by prehistoric people, sources of obtainable chippable stone were crucial to their survival. There are three major flint sources in the Upper Ohio Valley: Indiana hornstone in southern Indiana, and Flint Ridge and Coshocton in Ohio. Flints from these three deposits are found hundreds of miles from their sources. Literally millions of prehistoric implements, tools and projectile points were fashioned of these three flints. Flint tools and projectile points, along with ground stone tools, and the enigmatic, non-utilitarian group of artifacts generally referred to as “slate” represent the majority of ma-
terial left by the pre-historic Ohioans. Identification, study, documentation, and preservation of these artifacts are an exciting, rewarding, critically important part of archaeology. Make sure you stop by the archaeology tent to learn more about this fascinating subject. The public is invited to bring in arrowheads or other archaeological material they have found for evaluation.
