Name of an indian tribe
The Miami Indians originally lived in Indiana, Illinois, and southern Michigan. They moved into the Maumee Valley circa 1700. They soon became the most powerful Indian tribe in Ohio. The Miamis spoke one of the dialects of the Algonquian Indians and were thus related to the Delaware Indians, the Ottawa Indians, and the Shawnee Indians

The Miami River in Florida drains out of the Everglades and runs through downtown Miami, Florida from Miami International Airport (from the Miami Canal) to Biscayne Bay. The 5.5-mile river is narrow and polluted, due to its proximity to the Miami-Dade metropolis. Its name is most likely derivied from a Native American word that means "sweet water".
