This is not a closed powwow and visitors from other tribes or peoples are welcome as long as they respect the Shawnee culture.

[1] Membership in the tribe is based on documented lineal descent to persons listed on the Dawes Rolls.

The Shawnees, an Eastern Woodland tribe who were once nomadic, occupied territory throughout what became the eastern United States, living in present-day Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Western Maryland, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

[3] Three reservations were granted to the Shawnees in Ohio by the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs: Wapakoneta, Lewistown, and Hog Creek.

[3] The U.S. federal government carved out a 60,000-acre (240 km2) reservation for the "Mixed Band" or United Nation of Senecas and Shawnees from Cherokee lands in Indian Territory in 1832.

[2] The Eastern Shawnee organized as a federally recognized tribe under the 1936 Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act.

Tribal leaders have joined the city of Miami in opposition to increased water levels at Pensacola Dam and Grand Lake.

They argue that when the water backs up downstream on the Neosho River, it can increase problems with flooding in their communities.

The two feathers on the spear symbolize our dual citizenship in the United States and Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.

All of this sits inside of a circle, representing the univers; continuous, never-ending, with no beginning nor no ending, only one world, one universe, one tribe united.
