Walk-in-the-Water
Walk-in-the-Water [or My-ee-rah][1] (died c. 1817) was a Huron chief.
Biography
He was a member of the
British at Malden
, but he was instrumental in persuading several tribes to remain neutral, and in a council at that place he vindicated his course in a speech that was called by his enemies "American talk."
After this, Walk-in-the-Water and his associates openly broke with
Chatham, Canada. At the Battle of the Thames he offered his services, with those of sixty warriors, conditionally, to Gen. William Henry Harrison, who declined them, and the Hurons returned to Detroit River
.
His totem was a turtle.[1]
