    INDIGENOUS
    APPALACHIA
    The Shawnee
    “The Shawnee ancestral, pre-contact homeland is the greater middle Ohio River Valley region, which stretches
    through large portions of modern Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Despite forced removal
    and marginalization from the region, the Shawnee Tribe maintains strong ties to this land dotted with Shawnee settle-
    ments, sacred sites, and burial grounds.
    The Shawnee Tribe fought to maintain their independence and homelands despite periods of genocide through warfare and disease at the hands
    of French, Spanish, British and Americans. The Shawnee were regularly forced to relocate their settlements beyond the ever-expanding boundary
    of colonial-controlled lands. Thus, the Shawnee are often referred to as the “Greatest Travelers in America,” having established historic
    settlements in more than 20 modern states, with the highest concentration in or near their ancestral homelands of the greater Ohio River region.

    Forced removals due to United States policies and Treaties resulted in the Shawnee People being fractured into three independent sovereign
    Shawnee Communities: the Shawnee Tribe, Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma. Each
    of these Shawnee tribes are federally recognized with headquarters within the borders of the State of Oklahoma. The citizens of these three
    Shawnee communities comprise all saawanooki (Shawnee People) in existence today.”
