You raised my curiosity. In the old days I would have had to wait until Tuesday for the library to open to look up Leatherlips. Thank goodness for Google. What piqued my curiosity with your statement, "... met his end after signing a deal with white settlers." I was surprised and humbled at what I learned.
"Chief Leatherlips was viewed as an obstacle to the tribal alliances against white settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains organized by Shawnee warrior Tecumseh. As a result, another Wyandot Chief Roundhead from the area of Tippecanoe was sent with five warriors to carry out the execution of Chief Leatherlips. A mock trial was held, and then he was executed and buried on the spot. "
@skipt07 yes! and I read that he was executed by hatchet, right down the front center of his skull...then shoved into the shallow grave that had already been dug for him.
