You phrase your question in the present tense ("live in Ohio") and there are currently very few native Americans in the state of Ohio. They are mainly confined to 4 bands of Shawnee who are not officially recognised by the US government.
Historically, different groups came and went; the Mound Builders were probably the first native culture in the area and they seem to have disappeared by about 1550. By 1650 there were only the Erie and a few other small, isolated Algonquian tribes in the northern part of the state (almost nothing is known about these tribes).
The Iroquois moved into Ohio and subjugated or wiped out most of the Algonquian tribes until pressure from the French and English further east caused the Iroquois to withdraw. The Miamis then moved into western Ohio along with Ottawas, Chippewas and Potawatomis who moved further south. The Shawnees moved in along the Scioto river; Delawares and Mingos moved in from the east.
Most of these groups were later pushed north or west by white settlers, inter-tribal warfare and military action by the US government.
