Proud to be Shawnee! TY we are forever gratful for your scholarly research, your admiration and respect for the Shawnee people is appreciated and is felt toward you as well.

My parents were born/raised around Corbin, Ky. and I live in Bloomington, Ind. I can only imagine how beautiful and bountiful these states were, back 250-500 years ago..

Fascinating! Bring Dr Warren back for another discussion. Thank you

Wow- this is the kind of teacher I like- clear, honest and entertaining! ❤

My great, great, great, great grandmaw was Shawnee. I wish i knew more about her.

On my father side, we are Shawnee. I really appreciate the comment about how frontiersman is good but omits the actual Shawnee culture. It is a colonial way of glorifying the “tribe”. There was a lot of peace and stability and the women were the greatest agriculturalist of their time across the world. Our people were huge- well fed and athletic, well traveled using Ohio River and traded with lots of ppl (Shawnee Peyote songs). I also appreciate understanding us as a nation, not a tribe.

My nearest related direct Shawnee ancestor was from western Pennsylvania and mixed with Lenape. She married what I assume was a Quaker man, because they moved down to SC in a large Quaker group, and their descendants were Quakers. Their decendants moved to Ohio and then here into Indiana in the Miami Nation territory. By the time they were living in Indiana they seemed to no longer be Quakers. My 3rd or 4th great Shawnee/Lenape/white uncle lived with the Miami and learned their language and custums very well, and became an interpretor and liaison between the Miami and the government doing whatever he could to try and help the Miami. That was somewhere along the Wabash River in Wabash County, Indiana and surrounding counties. The paperwork says that my nearest Shawnee direct ancestor was Shawnee-Pekowi. Before finding that out, I was not aware of the Shawnee having clans, but it does not surprise me because of the Cherokee and some other tribes having their clans as well. I keep wanting to get down there in south western Ohio to see the Serpent Mound. I realize that it is not known who made that very ancient distinctive shaped mound, but it would become and is now Shawnee territory. It would be neat to know if the people who became the Shawnee were the ones who made that amazing mound. Perhaps we may never know who made it for sure. 💜🌻🙂

There was a Shawnee High School in Louisville Kentucky

I visited Ft Ancient when I was 10 years old, which was over 60 years ago.

This was a fascinating program. All my grandparents were mixed Native American and European pre-reservation era. I began my research in the Northeast but was very aware there were still big gaps of information around the Great Lakes and the Southeast. I think reading Dr. Warren's books will help greatly. No doubt it will help in researching my Native ancestors in.Ohio.

Excellent episode!

I’ve enjoyed Dr. Warren’s book, the books in the Eckert series as well as Gathering Together by Sami Lakomaki (Lakomäki). The Shawnee as a tribe are quite interesting especially considering their travels from Florida to Pennsylvania & the Ohio & Cumberland River Valleys. I’ve seen the mounds in Mt Sterling & Ashland and been to Eskippakithiki & the Maiden Spring of the Clinch River near the Painted Licks. But what I would love to learn more about the small group of Shawnee that settled along the Big South Fork of the Cumberland after the Yemassee Wars.

MY step father's ancestor's were Shawnee, I found that he was also my 8th cousin twice removed :). We are both related to Nancy Feathers born abt 1738 and died 1824.

Excellent video. Thanks for clarifying the myth about the Shawnees’ presence in Kentucky.

Great article. I think the Shawnee tribe were living in the effingham illinois area at one time. Kickapoo lived to the north

Thank you so much.

I live in piqua , OH, in MIAMI County, we have a section of town known as Shawnee

Great show. I've wondered for a while if the Shawnee were the descendants of the Fort Ancient People. I'm glad that there is some archeological evidence for this. My family fought the Shawnee from the 1730's to 1815. I feel that the least we can do is to know who we fought.

Kentucky was shared hunting grounds for the Shawnee, Cherokee, and Delaware later.

I just found your channel. I'm a born and raised kentuckian. I live in Clay Co. In southeast ky. Really great channel thank you. Got my sub.

Thank you for this. As an archaeologist from New Mexico where Native nations are common and commonly encountered, it has been very difficult for me to understand the history of Kentucky in which there were supposedly no Native residents at the time of Euroamerican occupation. I now have two more books for my reading list.

Another Warren I see lol my family comes from the London, Manchester area over around Bull Creek. I just wanted to say keep up the good works Doc, being a Warren if from Kentucky we are probably cousins Doc.

I lived 10 mi from Fort ancient , the Southern Ohio is full of Indian history that go back thousands of years, it is said to be the true origins of Fort ancient originally , later the Shawnee built on. My grandmother lived in Corbin Kentucky and right across from her house and behind her was Indian mounds a lot of people don't realize. The spirits still visit these Mounds and my grandmother testified that she had seen them more than once , describing exactly what they look like. Indian Mounds and earthworks are highly "charged" and people should not be trespassing foolishly... many bad things happen to people. As for Indiana they have Earthworks like unto Stonehenge these Earthworks are also hinges and they are much older than what people think.

Very interesting video ! It is a real shame that mainstream science tries to paint natives as less than human or ignorant beings...(I'm not implying that to this video) our ancestors and others were simple people with simple ways...nothing complicated about them

I found ancient old tablets here in central KY on our old farm, left them there & never told no one.

Bromley Ky. became a rail resort summer stop circa 1914 for Cincinatti city folk to the Lagoon and moto devil trac and Devoe Park was indian land back in the 18th century for a new york minute.

My mother's family is from Clinton County, KY and I think that there is some Native American blood in there somewhere. My great-aunt had a copper cast to her skin and high cheek bones and dark coal-black hair. I know that Great grandma was a Dalton and great grandpa was a Smith on the maternal side. On the paternal side there is Ferguson and Dowell (McDowell?) I think that it was someone on the Dalton side but I have no proof, yet. I still have distant relatives that live in Clinton, County. I am considering getting a DNA test to see if any native blood shows up. The is was a very interesting podcast.

Good stuff

Has the writer come across "Blue Jacket", supposedly a Shawnee war chief. I'm curious how his daughter became Americanized named McCrary and married a fellow by the name of Vance.

Awesome show 😎👍!! Thanks for sharing !!

Fun fact: Savannah and Shawnee are the same word / name spelled differently

Let me know when you get ready to do a show on Harlan County if & when you can please & thank you

Camp Shawnee of German Bridge, Johns Creek was Established in Floyd/Pike County Kentucky. Our Blood and Our Mountains still have descendants. John Jackson Hughes, Raymond Rowland Goble.

The Cherokee and Chickasaw drove the Shawnee out of Tennessee.

Our Kentucky family is bribeck Indian, but can’t find any information on this tribe. Anyone know any history of this tribe 11:28

Kentucky was considered the “Happy Hunting Ground “ !!! By Native Americans!!!!

So, if your Scioto County, OH Shawnee ancestor in the 1800s transformed himself into a "white man" with English language, white man hair style, clothes, etc., and refused to join his tribe on the trail to Oklahoma, how would one go about researching to find his Indian name and family names and dates?

I've always found it weird that US Academics always use this preconceived notion that Europeans didn't know what conservation was. If Europeans didn't understand conservation there would not be any cities there would not be any towns there wouldn't be anything. I just can't get behind it.

His Problem is he keeps saying i THINK i THINK Ha Ha (My Family Was in South Indiana 220 yrs Ago)

Im a decesndent of chief cornstalks daughter

Hunting cultures hunt in the fall to protect the progeny of the animals they hunted, who are raised in the spring

Promo'SM 🌟

I will have to beg your difference. A lot of American Indians did not go with there tribal leaders. They stayed in there villages. And became US citizen. Many where Mulatos ..

I’m not knocking ya at all man but please try to work on your communication skills. Like practice at it and you’ll get better. All the ums and repeats of the same sentences really make it hard to follow. I’m not trying to be mean and I’m sure it’s difficult but man it’s hard to follow what you’re saying. Good luck. I really enjoy the guests and this podcasts. Just really tough to understand what you’re tryin to get out.
