I can't find any disease that the Miami tribe specifically had. But some diseases that most Native American tribes had include smallpox, influenza, measles, and chicken pox. These were some very common diseases that the Europeans brought over with them. They could be very devastating and could kill tribes off sometimes. When the Native Americans would die from it the Europeans would continue to spread it on.

The major people that they traded with were the Europeans and the French. They also had trades with other tribes around them. They would typically give the group that they were trading with crops or animal skin. Some of the crops included the three sisters and white corn. Some of the animal skins that they gave people included deer, beaver, and bear skins. Some of the things they were given included guns, metal, and knives. They would also give the people they were trading with beads and embroidery which they were known for.

When the Europeans arrived it changed the way the Miami tribe thought. The Miami tribe had to adapt to when the Europeans came over. The Miami tribe began to give them dear, beaver and bear skin for guns, metal, and knives. When the Europeans came over they also brought diseases.

After the Beaver Wars ended in 1701 they migrated to the Southern end of Lake Michigan which is now modern day Indiana and Illinois. But when they moved around to hunt they would use dogs to carry all of their things. But when Europeans introduced horses the Miami tribe started to use them to carry all of their things that they needed.

The crops the Miami tribe grew were the three sisters. The three sisters included squash, beans, and corn. It was a smart way of planting crops. It was smart because you could put all three of the seeds in the same hole and you could plant them anywhere. For hunting they would track and hunt buffalos. They would start fires to drive the animals towards them so they could kill them. Some of their food recipes included soup, cornbread, and stew.

A big part of the Miami tribe's religion was the Grand Medicine Society, or Midewiwin. This organization's members were believed to be able to cure the sick and secure supernatural aid for tribal welfare. In their ceremonies, many sacred medicine bundles of magical objects were important.

The Miami tribe's social organization was based on anti-exogamous clans. Meaning that they allowed incest marriage. Typically though, it was only extended family getting wedded. Because of this, they fostered strong interconnected communities.

In this region, they spoke the Algonquian language. Their religion was mainly focused on medicine treatments and healing abilities. The women would wear dresses made out of deerskin and the men would wear skin leggings and cloths around the waist. In the winter, they would wear buffalo skin on their shoulders to keep them warm. Some other tribes that were around the Midwest were the Blackfeet, the Sioux, and the Chippewa. All of these, including the Miami, had similar religious ceremonies, hunting skills, and war customs. When the Europeans first arrived, them and the Miami tribe did not get along very well. This was because the Miami tribe was very protective of their territory and wanted to be free from European rule.

The landforms where the Miami tribe lived consisted of rivers, plains, forests, lakes, and farmland. The climate in this area is temperate. This type of climate is very unpredictable meaning that it could basically be snowing one day and 60 degrees the next.

The Miami tribe spoke a language called Algonquian. In the modern-day English language, there is an extreme overlap with the Algonquian language. This is mainly because when the European settlers first arrived, the Algonquian tribes were the first tribes the settlers stumbled upon. This is around 150 words in the English language that have been pulled straight from Algonquian dictionaries. This may not seem like very many, but to put it in perspective, we only borrowed 50 words the more well-known Russian language.

Two main governmental officials were elected. The civil chief and the war chief. There is little known about the office of civil chief but they were selected based on the virtues of the candidates. The office had mostly spiritual responsibilities. The war chief, as expected, was in charge of leading the raids on other tribes.
