Wapahani

Wapahani is a name associated with the White River, whose western fork winds through the wooded country towards the Wabash. The Miami knew the river by this name; the Lenape called it Opeksipu. After the American Revolution, Lenape families displaced from the east settled in the White River valley. In 1818 their leaders ceded their Indiana land claims to the United States by treaty, and the communities along the river were given three years to move west.

The later city of Indianapolis lies here.
