Description
c.1752–1812, chief of the Miami, Little Turtle was born in a Miami village near present-day Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was know for his oratorical powers, intelligence, and military skill . He was a commander of the Native Americans in the defeat of Gen. Josiah Harmar on the Miami River in 1790 and of Gen. Arthur St. Clair on the Wabash River in 1791. After several attacks on the forces of Gen. Anthony Wayne, he urged his people to persue peace but he was overruled. Consequently he was not in command at Fallen Timbers. He reluctantly signed the Treaty of Greenville (Ohio) in 1795, ceding a great part of Ohio to the whites, and he also signed several subsequent treaties. Later he refused to join Tecumseh’s confederacy against the whites. He persuaded many of the Miami to turn to agriculture and appealed to the government to halt the liquor trade among his people.

Wow.. this has a really nice old school 60's psychedelic rock feel. Like the filtering you put on the GB bass loop... it makes it almost feel custom made.
Sweet organs, good trance-like feel.
