The artists hail from the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma. The exhibit "Ohi:yo’: We’re Still Here" is available to view at the Bryn Du Mansion in Granville until Nov. 26.

The U.S. exit from the United Nations’ cultural agency leaves some archaeologists and American Indian leaders worried that Ohio’s Serpent Mound will face big barriers to being listed as a World Heritage site.

The Octagon Earthworks were, until recently, the site of Moundbuilders Country Club. The site became fully accessible to the public Jan. 1.

Ohio History Connection will pay Moundbuilders Country Club in Newark to buy out its lease and end the long-running legal dispute over the Octagon Earthworks, although the sum is confidential under a settlement agreement.

Ohio History Connection says it has reached a deal with Moundbuilders Country Club on a sale price for land that includes the Octagon Earthworks, an ancient Native American earthwork.

The rest stop is decorated with the colors and themes of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, which became Ohio's first World Heritage Site in September.
