Researching the Treaty of Greenville

Ryan Chambers presents his research on the Treaty of Greenville peace medal from 1795. Initially unsure, he consulted Dr. Clustering and focused on the late 18th century. After visiting several museums, he found an exhibit at the Indiana State Museum. The peace medal, larger than expected, features the Great Seal of the United States. Ryan questions the lack of Native American representation on the medal. He explores Chief Little Turtle's speech and the treaty's context. Ryan's research evolves, leading to questions about the medal's production and authenticity. He recommends visiting the Indiana State Museum and Idle Drug Museum for further exploration.
