Myeerah

Myeerah also known as "Princess Myeerah", "White Crane", and "Walk-in-the-Water" ( 1758 – February 1816) was a Native American woman, belonging to the Wyandot people, notable for bringing "peace and goodwill" between white settlers and Native people. She was the daughter of Tarhe, the chief of the Porcupine clan of the Wyandot tribe along Lake Erie.

Life Myeerah was born around 1758 near present-day Sandusky, Ohio, along Lake Erie. Her father was Native American and her mother was French-Canadian. Her name is translated to "Walk-in-the-Water."

Her family lived in the Porcupine clan of the Wyandot tribe, where her father Tarhé was chief. Myeerah was referred to as "White Crane" by settlers because of her light complexion. Their marriage helped to solidify the Wyandot tribe's alliance with the British during the American Revolution, and Zane served as the tribe's translator and emissary in treaty negotiations. After the Battle of Fallen Timbers of 1794, Myeerah and Zane played a crucial role in the Wyandot's alliance with America.

A painting depicting Myeerah and Zane is on display at the Logan County Historical Society Museum in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

In 1954, a highway and trail near Zanesfield were named the "Myeerah Trail" in honor of Princess Myeerah.
