Ohio
If you are a fan of college football, then you are already aware of the invasive sports culture that permeates nearly the entire state of Ohio. The buckeye state, some like to joke that it got it's nickname from the football team from Ohio State! Really, the state nickname originated thanks to the huge number of buckeye trees that grow in the state.
Ohio is also home to NFL teams, the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Sports teams aside, the state of Ohio has a very interesting history. There is evidence that proves that the area was inhabited as many as fifteen thousand years ago! The nomadic tribes that roamed the area disappeared somewhere around three thousand years ago, making way for the Adena settlers who are thought to have established the first non-nomadic settlements in the area surrounding the Ohio River. The Hopewell Indians later joined the Adena but the entire population seems to have just vanished after a certain point.
Much like the Mayans in South America, the natives of Ohio were quite possibly wiped out entirely by strains of European viruses to which the natives had absolutely no immunity. It would not take very long for a community to be entirely decimated by illnesses about which they had no knowledge and for which they had no treatment.
Today, there is a relatively small population of native Americans in the state of Ohio because there really were no tribes left from which to provide descendants. Many of those who do live in the state are descendants of those natives who relocated to the Ohio River Valley from places other than the area that is now the state of Ohio.
