Well, this'll give away my own NE Indiana roots, but I'll opt for "Little Turtle." He was Miami Tribe leader during the early settling of the upper Midwest and figured into the French-Indian War and the War of 1812. I especially liked him because he was clever enough to realize that he could charge a toll for those traders needing to portage from the Maumee River to the Wabash River in order to continue their travels West. My second favorite would be "Tecumseh," but I suppose that would sound too much like a lawn mower engine and would probably initiate a copyright suit. You can read lots about either of these two on the Web
