Near this spot stood the village of thePotawatomi War Chief Five Medals, whoseIndian name was Onaska. This chief ceasedhostilities against the United States government after signing the Greenville Treaty, 1795.

He met with Presidents George Washington 1796 and Thomas Jefferson 1801. Five Medals remained peacefultoward the U.S. government even though this villagewas destroyed by U.S. troops in 1812 and again in 1813.

The remains of Five Medals rest in this vicinity,forever embraced by mother earth which the Potawatomi so cherished.
