The origin and early movements of the Shawnee are unsettled questions in history, and are of significance in the archeology and ethnology of eastern North America. Earlier students usually took their name, southerners, at face value, and gave them a home in the Southeast. Charles C Royce, however, equates them with Massawomecks and Eries, and derives them from the upper Ohio Valley. I C. A. Hanna, and more recently, James B. Griffin, assign the Ohio as their homeland; others agree in placing them in the Southeast, generally in the Savannah or the Tennessee Valley. 2 In this communication, eighteenth-century statements concerning the origin of the Shawnee are presented, and we believe they constitute proof that the Shawnee were indigenes of the Ohio and are to be equated with at least a part of the Fort Ancient archeological culture
