Roundhead (Wyandot)
Roundhead (''c.'' 1760 – October 5, 1813), also known as Bark Carrier, Round Head, Stayeghtha, and Stiahta, was a Native American chief of the Wyandot tribe. He was a strong member of Tecumseh’s Confederacy against the United States during the War of 1812 and died alongside Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames.
__NOTOC__
==Early life==
Roundhead was born around 1760 near the Sandusky River in New France (the present-day state of Ohio). However, some sources indicate that he was born later in 1763. He rose to become chief of the Wyandot in the Sandusky area. He later moved to Brownstown and joined Tecumseh’s anti-American cause. Very little is known about his life before 1810, but this was during a time when various Wyandot clans feuded over their relations with the United States. Prior to 1810, Roundhead was briefly a war chief under Tarhe, who was an ally of the Americans.
Roundhead resigned that position and joined with Tecumseh against the Americans during the height of Tecumseh's War. In 1810, Roundhead was chiefly responsible for the execution of his brother and fellow Wyandot chief Leatherlips.〔〔 He was condemned to death by other natives for his desire to cooperate with white settlers.〔 Leathlerlips opposed Tecumseh's Confederacy against the United States, and he had sold native land to William Henry Harrison. However, it is widely believed that Leatherlips was executed for exaggerated charges of witchcraft to draw attention away from the true political motives.〔 While it is unknown if Roundhead took direct part in the execution of Leatherlips, he headed the council that called for his death. Roundhead dispatched fellow natives to capture him and carry out the execution.
