Ohio Genocide

They want our land

And they want us gone

That’s all there is to know

This is what

An Indian said,

Yes many tears ago

A genocide

That’s still denied;

Now Ohio is theirs no more

The Ottawa, Seneca,

Shawnee and Pawnee

Are lost from our history’s lore

But their names are found

On cities and towns;

As if we have no shame

Their images lampooned

And faces cartooned

On cigar boxes and logos for games

So cry for Logan and Tecumseh,

Little Turtle, Blue Jacket,

And other Chiefs

They fought valiantly

Protecting their country

They died in defense of their beliefs.
