Tarhe (c. 1742–1818) was a leader of the Wyandot people in the Ohio Country. His nickname was "The Crane".[1] He fought American expansion into the region until the Northwestern Confederacy was defeated at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. Although the exact number of Wyandot chiefs who entered the battle is still debated, Tarhe was the only chief to survive. Afterwards, he sought accommodation with the United States. The Sikorsky CH-54 cargo helicopter is named the "Tarhe" in honor of him.
