The Miami Nation of Indiana (also known as the Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana) is the tribal government of the Miami Indians who legally remained in Indiana after removal in the 1840s. The group's headquarters are at Peru, Indiana.
The Indiana Miami, or Eastern Miami, signed a treaty with the United States on June 5, 1854; however, its federal recognition was terminated in 1897. The United States Congress has consistently refused to authorize federal recognition of the Indiana Miami as a tribal group separate from the Western Miami, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma.
