Barbees and Big and Little Tippecanoe Lakes. The Tippecanoe has no well-defined valley, and it has not excavated a valley of much depth in the old glacial lake bottoms. Clear, short streams make up most of the tributaries of the Tippecanoe. Many of these streams have their source in one of the major lakes. Indians were the first residents of the Tippecanoe River basin, and the word “Tippecanoe” came about as a combination of the Miami and Potawatomi names for the river. The word “canoe” had no part in the naming of the river. While it is an original Indian word, it was not a term used by Indians from this pari of North America. The land contained in the Tippecanoe basin was obtained by the United States in treaties with the Indians in 1818.1826 and 1832. Water-powered Mills ' Prior to the development of electrical power, water-powered mills were operated at a number of points in the basin, including North Webster. Wilmot. Oswego. Monticello, and the community of Tippecanoe. The river is best remembered as the scene of an historic Indian battle near Lafayette led by General William Henry Harrison, later Governor of Indiana, and President of the United States During his successful 1840 campaign fpr the presidency.
