Who are the ancient peoples of Ohio?

Archaeologists have found artifacts and bones that date ancient people back to 10,000 years ago. These people were hunters, farmers and craftsmen. The first prehistoric people to be uncovered in Ohio's history are the Paleo people. After the Paleo came the Archaic people, Glacial Kame, Adena's and Hopewell. Later came the Late Woodland and Fort Ancient. These people left behind a rich history of the way they lived and the tools they used. Some were makers of pottery, some hunters and tool makers. These people lived off of the land and used what was necessary for survival. They respected the land and only took from it what was necessary.

After the Hopewell people disappeared, Ohio wasn't inhabited by people for about 50 years. The reason is unknown. After this period, the Iroquois and then more tribes came to the Ohio region. Following these groups were the explorers and Europeans. This makes up the ancient people who lived in Ohio.
