Just before Ohio became a state in 1803, the U.S. government passed the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 to regulate the settlement of the Northwest Territory. There was cooperation between settlers and the Indigenous people of Ohio in those years before statehood, an exchange of ideas and technology and lots of intermarriage in cosmopolitan communities. But over time, pressure from the new settlers for more land increased.And so, the early years of statehood were full of conflict and death. U.S. leaders pressed for treaty after treaty, all with questionable motives, and the Ohio tribes were pushed onto reservations further and further north in the state. Then, the U.S. government imposed forced removals.But the descendants of those Indigenous people who were forced to leave their homelands in Ohio exist today.This spring, join Neenah Ellis and Chris Welter at the Eichelberger Center for Community Voices at WYSO Public Radio to hear Native men and women from different tribes and their allies—plus teachers, artists, scholars, parents, landowners, foresters, young people, and historians, too—tell their stories about the lands above the Ohio River, known as the Ohio Country.Some episodes will be sad and difficult to hear—but important, we think, so Ohio can face and embrace all of its rich, layered complicated self. The Ohio Country is a forthcoming series from WYSO and funded by Ohio Humanities. You can listen at WYSO.org, ohiohumanities.org, and in all those other places where you get podcasts.This series is made possible, in part, by the National Endowment for the Humanities' A More Perfect Union initiative.

It's Spring Fund Drive at WMMT and this week we're talking about radio! What is this thing, and why does it matter? Why is it unique in today’s world of constant visual media input? What makes community radio different than commercial? And, we’ll learn about the life-long professional and personal journeys of two super cool women in radio. Neenah Ellis’s parents ran a small commercial country radio station in northern Indiana when she was growing up. Neenah went on to work at National Public Radio in Washington, D.C. for 30 years, before becoming the general manager at WYSO in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Sally Kane’s parents started a small community radio station in a coal mining community in Colorado when she was a kid, and she now directs the National Federation of Community Broadcasters. Neenah & Sally talk about their histories with radio, their love for the form, and why they believe in the community radio model.

Neenah Ellis talks with Rob Rosenthal about her series "One Hundred Years of Stories" and she shares some of her tips for first-person stories.

This hour: Stories about people who lived to be 100, and reflections from producer Neenah Ellis on what she learned from these remarkable centenarians.
