We were once one of six Tribes of the Miami Nation of the Northwest Territory. Our Tribe consists of descendants of the Wea Indians and the treaty signatories who have been coming together for years sharing our culture and exchanging our history and family genealogy. Our membership continues to grow in numbers as more of us reunite again. We are working to continue to establish this tribe and the descendants on all fronts with the Federal, State and local governments, agencies, etc., and Native American communities to advance our people and Tribe. We have worked hard to bring back our traditions, culture, history and language. And will continue to work to protect our ancestors sites and graves. Representatives of the Tribal Council have been guest speakers at Schools, Colleges, Historical societies and libraries. We supported and worked for legislation to establish the Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission with Native brothers and sisters tribes to help get this legislation pass. It passed in 2004 and the Chief has a seat on it. We have worked with the Indiana Historical Bureau to esblish our sites. In 2004 there was a marker placed in Terre Haute depicting the Wea presence there before settlement. Many issues are being addressed daily conerning our traditions, history, language and culture both past and present and preserving this for the future This web site is dedicated to our ancestors and is for our people to share our history, culture, language, customs and traditions with each other and by doing so will once again Bring together all Wea descendants. This web site, our past, present and future, we share with you. Welcome To The Original Site of the Wea Tribe of Indiana Est. 1995 |
