The Indian Prophecy is a Native American prophecy made by a sachem to a tribe local to the Kanawha River area in the 18th century.
History[edit | edit source]
In 1755, George Washington fought in the Battle of the Monongahela, part of the disastrous Braddock Expedition.[1] Despite being targeted as he led the rear guard of the retreating forces after Edward Braddock was fatally wounded, Washington emerged unscathed. One of the indigenous chiefs allied with the French saw this and declared, "...he will become the chief of nations, and a people yet unborn, will hail him as the father of a mighty empire!"[2] Years later in 1770, the prophecy was recounted to Washington and others as they went to press a land claim in the Ohio territory and spread from there.[3]
By the time of the Battle of the Wabash River in 1791, the prophecy was still widely known, with members of the native coalition led by Mihšihkinaahkwa, Weyapiersenwah, and Buckongahelas being aware of it.[3]
