The Ohio Country Episode Two: Rewriting the Narrative

Shawnee people and their ancestral communities have lived in what we now call southwest Ohio for thousands of years, but since they and their governments were removed in the mid-1800s, their story has been replaced and reduced by a heroic narrative about white settlement. We meet Catherine Wilson, director of the Greene County Historical Society, who says she is related to the famous settler and land speculator Daniel Boone. Wilson feels a pressing need to make sure Shawnee history is told in their homelands and told by them.
