- Quatawapea or John Lewis (c. 1760 – 1826), also known as Captain Lewis and Colonel Lewis and ‘’’Captain Johnny’’’, was a Shawnee leader for whom Lewistown, Ohio, is named. Lewis fought in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and the Northwest Indian War (1785–1795) as part of Shawnee opposition to the expansion of the United States into Shawnee territory. After the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, he sought to preserve Shawnee autonomy by promoting accommodation with the U.S., working with Black Hoof, the principal Shawnee spokesman. Lewis served in the War of 1812 as an American ally. After the war, he signed a number of treaties with the U.S., eventually getting Lewistown recognized as an Indian reservation for his band of Shawnees, along with Senecas also living at Lewistown. Lewis made several trips to Washington, D.C. to meet with U.S. officials, including Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, to promote Shawnee land rights. Continued American encroachment on Shawnee lands convinced Lewis to give up on remaining in Ohio. He broke with Black Hoof and advocated Shawnee relocation to the west, promoting a Native confederacy with allied Cherokees in Missouri and the Arkansas Territory. He died before this plan could be realized. After his death, the Shawnees and Senecas of Lewistown, known as the "Mixed Band", were in 1831 compelled to cede their reservation in Ohio and move to Indian Territory. The Lewistown Shawnees eventually became the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma. (en)
