The Miami Nation
The Miami Nation is a sovereign Native American Nation whose ancestral lands encompassed what are now Indiana, Western Ohio, Eastern Illinois and the lower portions of Michigan and Wisconsin . Through several treaties starting in 1795, the Miami lost much of their original homelands to the U.S. Government. In 1846 the Tribe was forcibly removed to an unwanted reservation in Eastern Kansas . Several families were exempt from this removal and remained back in Indiana . By the 1870s the Miami in Kansas were forced to move again to Indian Territory . As was the case previously, many families remained in Kansas while the rest were forced to lands in what is now NE Oklahoma . Today the Miami Nation is headquartered in Miami, Oklahoma, but many Miami families can be found living in Indiana, Kansas, and Oklahoma .

National Park Service Hopewell Culture
From about 200 BC to AD 500, the Ohio River Valley was a focal point of the prehistoric Hopewell culture. The term Hopewell describes a broad network of beliefs and practices among different Native American groups over a large portion of eastern North America. The culture is characterized by the construction of enclosures made of earthen walls, often built in geometric patterns, and mounds of various shapes. Visible remnants of Hopewell culture are concentrated in the Scioto River valley near present-day Chillicothe, Ohio. The most striking Hopewell sites contain earthworks in the form of squares, circles, and other geometric shapes. Many of these sites were built to a monumental scale, with earthen walls up to 12 feet high outlining geometric figures more than 1000 feet across. Conical and loaf-shaped earthen mounds up to 30 feet high are often found in association with the geometric earthworks.
