Learn About The Real Tribes
Did you know the name "Ohio" is an Iroquoian Indian word? It came from the Seneca name for the Ohio River, Ohiyo, which means "it is beautiful."
The Senecas were not the original inhabitants of Ohio, however. The Indian tribes of the Ohio Valley were decimated by smallpox and other European diseases before the Europeans had even met them, and Algonquian and Iroquoian tribes from neighboring regions moved into Ohio as European colonization forced them from their original homes. Only a few of the tribes who were living in Ohio before 1492 still survive today. -- Native American Tribes of Ohio

- I'm glad that 1947 logo didn't stick. He gives me the hebe-geebies. What inspired the change from the 1928 profile to the 1947 cartoon?
