With noted ancestry from the Lenape Delaware tribe, the Shawnee were commonly known to migrate around Ohio at will. Archaeologists have also found evidence of villages in New York, Illinois and Georgia. In the mids, the Shawnee also had to travel due to pressure from the Iroquois and American settlers. With other Ohio Valley tribes in parts of the southern region also under stress from the Iroquois Confederacy and European-American colonization, Shawnee leader Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa tried to unite eastern tribes under a movement called the Pan-Indian Unity in the early s.
The alliance allowed the tribes to band together to fight against colonization until it was dissipated by Americans shortly after Tecumseh was defeated in the Battle of Thames in This forced the Shawnee tribe to relocate to Oklahoma. Today, the Shawnee are found in three federally recognized communities in Oklahoma: the Absentee Shawnee , the Eastern Shawnee and the Shawnee tribe. When other Indigenous nations were forced into conflict or relocation, Ohio was one of the areas to which they migrated.
Many Native American descendants still living in Ohio today follow ancestry from these migrated tribes. Several other tribes migrated in and out of Ohio, but these five represent the greatest share of the Indigenous population. The two tribes that migrated toward the present day Toledo region were the Ottawa and Seneca.
The Ottawa tribe lived by lakes and rivers and were known as traders. Ottawa tribes originally migrated to Ohio due to conflicts with the Iroquois Confederacy. The Seneca lived in longhouses along riversides and by the lake, similar to the Ottawa. Although fierce and skilled in warfare, the Seneca also had a pronounced flair for diplomacy. Eventually they joined the Iroquois Confederacy. Toward the middle and eastern borders of Ohio were the Wyandot and Lenape tribes, and to the south was the Miami tribe.
The Wyandot used a language that was closely related to Iroquois and spread their ancestry through several branches. Outer parts of the Wyandot community, who did not want to be a part of the Iroquois Confederacy, fought in many conflicts and were eventually defeated.
Survivors of the conflicts branched off to create a new tribal identity called the Wendat tribe. After various land invasions, cattle theft and killed leaders, the Wyandot had limited options and were forced to depend on the American government for support, relocating out of Ohio.
Due to spread of disease and hostile conflicts over trading and hunting because of the Europeans, some Lenape disbursed and left Lenapehoking, thus migrating to Ohio. The Myaamia endured hardships of disease, war and colonization, as well, and were eventually forced to relocate under the Greenville Treaty of Eventually, all of the fiver tribes that migrated to Ohio were forced into relocation elsewhere.
Some descendants branched off and lived off-site from their communities, which ensured that some presence would remain in Ohio. Some founded nations that are federally recognized communities on reservations in places like Oklahoma, Kansas, Mexico and Canada.
Meanwhile, others are banding together to become federally recognized and receive government assistance and to keep their smaller communities alive. Currently, there are no federally recognized tribal communities or nations in Ohio, but there are non-federally funded communities trying to stay connected to their ancestry and become federally recognised, such as the Munsee Delaware Indian Nation of Ohio and the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band.
Some Ohio universities are also putting out statements to acknowledge and show respect for the people who inhabited this land long before European settlers did. Barbara Mann. I am of Indian ancestry and this is still going on today.
