Special presentation by Talon Silverhorn, Cultural Programs Manager at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and a Citizen of The Eastern Shawnee Tribe.
Join us November 6th at 6:00 pm at the auditorium in Bennett Hall at Ohio University Chillicothe for an hour long conversation on Shawnee history, culture, and connection to ancestral landscapes. Discover how the end of the last glacial maximum shaped life in the Pleistocene, leading tribal nations in the Great Lakes region to adapt to a warmer, greener world. Delve into how fundamental beliefs and social practices connected to natural cycles have guided the Shawnee's environmental strategies, rooted in over 15,000 years of lived experience. This program highlights the intricate link between cultural fluidity, conservancy, and the necessity of adapting to the environment. Learn more
