SUMMARY:Echoes of Ohio's Indigenous Legacy: Bridging Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:The Denison Museum presents: Echoes of Ohio's Indigenous Legacy
 : Bridging Past and Present. On display Tuesday\, Jan. 21\, through Friday
 \, April 11\, at the Denison Museum (240 West Broadway). The Denison Museu
 m is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.
 m. For more information email museum@denison.edu.\n\nThis exhibition invit
 es visitors to reflect on the rich\, complex history of Indigenous peoples
  in the Northwest Territory and their enduring connection to the land we n
 ow call Ohio. Through the work of contemporary Indigenous artists\, includ
 ing those with ancestral ties to the region\, we explore narratives of res
 ilience\, displacement\, and cultural survival. The exhibition offers a pl
 atform for stories often overlooked\, weaving together visual art and voic
 es to create a multidimensional experience.\n\nIn collaboration with the E
 ichelberger Center for Community Voices and WYSO Public Radio\, the Museum
  integrates podcasts from The Ohio Country series into the exhibition. The
 se podcasts center the perspectives of the Miami\, Shawnee\, Wyandotte\, a
 nd other American Indian peoples\, providing a vital context for understan
 ding Ohio’s past and present.\n\nThis partnership allows visitors to eng
 age deeply with history and hear directly from those whose stories remain 
 essential to the land’s identity. The ancient Hopewell culture\, recogni
 zed with a UNESCO World Heritage designation\, transformed the Ohio landsc
 ape through monumental earthworks aligned with celestial movements. Yet\, 
 much about these people—including their names—remains unknown. The exh
 ibition acknowledges the weight of these absences while confronting the on
 going legacies of forced removal and erasure of the tribes that once calle
 d Ohio home. In doing so\, it aims to make visible what history has often 
 obscured.\n\nThis is not a definitive narrative but a beginning. Over mont
 hs of collaboration with scholars\, communities\, writers\, and historians
 \, this project seeks to create a foundation for further exploration and d
 ialogue. By featuring contemporary artists whose work engages with identit
 y\, place\, and memory\, we hope to inspire deeper connections and foster 
 a broader understanding of Ohio’s Indigenous heritage.\n\nLooking ahead\
 , the Museum aspires to amplify these efforts by building relationships wi
 th more tribal nations and presenting future exhibitions that highlight tr
 aditional makers and artisans.\n\nThis exhibition is funded in part by the
  America 250 - Ohio Commission. Artwork courtesy of ArtBridges\, College o
