CHIEF BLACK HOOF SHAWNEE

CHIEF BLACK HOOF

FAMOUS CHIEF BLACK HOOF (aka Catecahassa, Quaskey), circa 1740-1831, was a chief of the Shawnee Indians of Ohio — he is remembered for being a fierce warrior fighting vehemently against the invading settlers, reconciling with them for peace, and surrendering the Ohio Shawnee tribal lands to the US Government.

In 1831, the U.S. Government made a proposition to purchase Wapakoneta from the Shawnee.

The Shawnee formed a four-person committee, including Black Hoof, to negotiate terms. These negotiations resulted in the transfer of the Ohio tribal lands held by the Shawnee Nation.

Black Hoof was asked later if he agreed to the sale, he replied, "No."

When Black Hoof was then asked why he sold the land to the government, he said, "Why? Because the United States Government wanted to buy and possess our lands, and remove us out of the way.

"I consented because I could not help myself, for I never knew them to undertake anything without accomplishing it.

"I knew that I might as well give up first as last, for they were determined to have our lands."

Blackhoof died shortly after the ceding of the Shawnee’s last ancestrial lands in Ohio at the old age of 109 years.
