Discoverincl the Stories o f Native Ohio
An Oral History Project
The first project of the Newark Earthworks Center!
An Outreach: Project Overview
The Ohio State University Newark faculty in Comparative Studies, History, and
Education propose to collect, record and map the stories of Native American
experiences in Ohio, from the age o f the Mound builders two thousand years
ago to the present, and to make them available to teachers, students,
researchers and other community members.
Native American organizations and individuals, historical societies and
librarians, school teachers and their students in grades K-12 (and above), as well
as other community organizations are committed t o this project.
The proposed project will be the inaugural venture of the Newark Earthworks
Center o f American Indian Studies that is currently being developed at The Ohio
State University Newark campus. The proposed project will coincide with an
academic conference and public events focusing upon the Newark Earthworks.
This project will contribute to the foundation o f the center in many ways.
It will open dialogue and build relationships with Native American
individuals and orgar~izations.
By raising public awareness of the Native Americans o f Ohio we can
create more diversity of thought.
To identify and respond to the needs o f Native Americans in recording
and collecting information relevant t o them.
Allows for the generation o f ideas for more projects and research for the
Newark Earthworks Center.
It will allow researchers to compile data about the Native Americans who
existed in Ohio and continue to reside here.
A compilation o f educational materials will be created for teachers t o
more accurately present Native Americans in the classroom.
A series of planning meetings will be held with Native American
community groups, scholars and interested individuals to develop a
common agenda and protocols for collaboration on an oral history
collecting project.
