The present Myeerah was the daughter of a French woman, who had been taken captive at a very early age, adopted into the Huron tribe, and married to Tarhe.
The only child of this union was Myeerah.

She grew to be beautiful woman and was known in Detroit and the Canadian forts as Tarhe's white daughter.

The old chief often visited the towns along the lake shore, and so proud was he of Myeerah that he always had her accompany him.

White men travelled far to look at the Indian beauty.
Many French soldiers wooed her in vain.

Once, while Tarhe was in Detroit, a noted French family tried in every way to get possession of Myeerah.
The head of this family believed he saw in Myeerah the child of his long lost daughter.
