Little Darby Creek Conservation Through Local Initiatives Final Report U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service LittleLittle DarbyDarby CreekCreek ConservationConservation ThroughThrough LocalLocal InitiativesInitiatives FinalFinal ReportReport AugustAugust 20022002 Acknowledgments A proposal to establish the Little Darby National Wildlife Refuge did not result in a refuge. Our hope is that it resulted in something with even greater potential to benefit the natural resources of the Little Darby Creek Watershed. The road to local conservation action has been long and sometimes bumpy. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service appreciates the time and energy so many people devoted by attending meetings and reviewing draft documents. We are also indebted to the many individuals, elected officials and agency staff who spent time with Service representatives in July 2002 to share their visions of local conservation action. We thank Gretchen Green, Director of the Madison County Historical Society, and volunteers Charles Fisher and Pat VanHorn for their invaluable help in gathering information on Madison County’s history. Most of all, we thank in advance the people who will roll up their sleeves and begin the work that is inherent in a locally driven conservation effort. Here and across the nation, you are the backbone of conservation.

Masses of the chain-forming diatom Biddulphia laevis Ehr. were ob- served in the Maumee River in the summer of 1981. Standing crop of this diatom was de- termined at different thalli portions of its green algal substrate, Cladophora glomerata (L.) Kutz. Ultrastructural observations of valve morphology with SEM indicate this spe- cies is typical of other biddulphioid diatoms, except in the structure of the ocellus-like process, which appears to be intermediate between a typical rimless pseudocellus and the thickened rim of an ocellus. Attachment of B. laevis to Cladophora and the zigzag filamen- tous nature of the chains was observed with SEM and noted to be similar to that of marine centric diatoms of the same type. OHIOJ.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.
