Great Council State Park, now open in Xenia, tells the story of the area from a Shawnee perspective.

This 12-episode podcast will provide a perspective on the history of the region we now call Ohio that very few of us learned in school.

We'll center the experiences of Miami, Shawnee, Wyandotte, and other American Indian people in a refreshed version of the state’s complicated past and undecided future.
