All my growing up my dad used to tell me we were part Blackfeet. My great great grandma was Native American. I’m trying to research this but not coming up w/ much. Which ever way my research takes me doesn’t matter. The Native American people will always have my utmost respect.
Same for me. I knew my great great grandmother. She lived to be 93 and I remember she didn't eat like us. She had a head full of hair, and was never sick. She was always very quiet but it was something so majestic about her. She died of old age. I was often told of her background but without much detail. So I've been studying blackfoot indians for some years now
Yes history is proven wrong daily! Don't believe what you are taught about history as most of it is personal speculation. Like the land bridge from Asia. As evidence in South America has already proved that false.🌞 Much of our lost history from tool making to types of tools is all built on personal thought and accepted as fact🌞
Clovis peoples go back to somewhere around 10-12000 years so I think that catches about all the history we know of for now. Who knows what may be discovered later.
Thinking about all those arrow heads us kids found down in Fulton Arkansas. We all had a cigar box full, and would trade them. Often we found them while playing.

I have been told America now a National recognition Day for Gays and Lesbians which is absurd! Why don’t we instead have Recognition day for the American Indian. The American Indian seem to be always be overlooked. I’m a 74 year old American and this highly disturbs me. So SAD!

I love and adore my family so much, this is the way I feel. I can say this through my personal research that the majority of the white Americans arrived in the USA around 1850's. This is actually the real great migration, they don't want to talk about. The white Americans have European names..!!!! This is nothing new because even the old Western movies shows this in Hollywood.
Why not both? WTF is the problem with recognizing that LGBT ppl are real human beings and contribute as much as anyone to society? I agree we need a Native American recognition day but not in lieu of other holidays or days of recognition

De Soto was not an explorer, but a Conquistador, whose ran a raid-and-destroy campaign across the region, which became a genocide as De Soto engaged in wholesale slaughter of one after another village and germ warfare as infected persons were repeatedly left at villages, causing devastation.
The DeSoto Expedition was to explore the American South and report back to Spain what it was like. DeSoto was more interested in finding gold with the natives being aware of that since traders had warned them about the Spanish. The villagers would point north saying you may find it up there to keep them moving along. DeSoto did wander around the mountains in Georgia, North and South Carolina and Tennessee before giving up to head west. By then he was treating the natives badly so they tried to eliminate his expedition as they made their way to the Mississippi River then crossed it ASAP to escape from the irate tribes. DeSoto explored Arkansas for gold and silver. In SW Arkansas the Spanish met the Tula and fled in terror since they were the most highly skilled and ferocious fighters they've ever encountered in Europe and the New World. DeSoto was wounded during one encounter so the expedition returned to the Mississippi River to set up a winter camp. DeSoto died there so his second in command decided to try marching overland back to Mexico City where they met the Caddo in East Texas. The Caddo told them to head west where a big river ran down into Mexico so they did, only to find arid plains with little game and no villages to steal food from from. The Spanish returned to the Caddo and forced them to provide guides to lead them south thru the thick pine forests. Their guides intentionally led them around the large Caddo settlements that had plenty of food and to small villages that had removed most of their food stores earlier and kept just enough in their vacated villages for the Spanish to find and keep them fed for a few days to ensure they kept moving on. The Caddo guides led the Spanish into a dense forest called The Big Thicket that was unpopulated with only narrow footpaths used by traders and large game animals. There the guides took them in circles to get the Spanish lost and hopefully to starve to death since there wasn't any villages to raid for food or visible wild game to hunt. The Spanish wised up and killed the guides before finding their way back out. They found their bearings and headed southwest then turned around near present Ft. Hood since all they saw were arid plains with little water and no villages to raid for food. They marched back thru East Texas and Arkansas to their former camp by the Mississippi and were harassed all the way. There they built boats to float down the river to the gulf where they hoped to reach Cuba or Mexico. They found themselves under attack from the shore and by natives in dugouts for most of the way. The Spanish never did try exploring the southern region again and only built forts along the gulf and the Mississippi River.
I know where there's a natural cave in Arkansas that's right next to another cave that was made by stacking rocks next to a Boulder. It has old artifacts in it . The part that is man made by stacking rocks next to a Cliffside looks like it was used for a smokehouse I found this place while hunting as a teenager. It became my favorite spot to hang out and I used the place for years as my hunting camp. There is a clear spring of water that comes straight out of the Cliffside. I swore to myself I would own this place one day.
Can't remember now if it was from my Cherokee family members, but an Arkansas resident of the western Ozarks told how the Native American tribes would come back to the Ozarks to get herbs and plant materials that were not available in Oklahoma.
@@rharvey2124 Most likely visiting family. Anything is possible but also a lot of what is said down the lines could chance or inaccurate. Could be that there was an area they visited that had a type in more abundance. Or while visiting they would gather. Some plants only naturally grow in certain regions. But the Ozarks aren't a different zone than Oklahoma. Unless the individual lived in a populated city, but still there are rural areas where plants would be abundant. An entire tribe or multiple tribes or members of many tribes going to the Ozarks sounds a bit off to me. Visiting family, a sacred place (including an area where those from the Trail of Tears had passed away) are probably more likely. Suppose it depends on how far back. Having family in both areas and aware of them traveling to Arkansas for visit, my guess is gathering while visiting.
@@warflowersociety Could be on visits returning to family burials - since my family comes from an area settled by the first Cherokee to remove themselves, and a spot where others wintered during the Trail of Tears.
Interesting ... but kind of a dull narrative. I may take a few months and many visits to "digest" and appreciate this work fully. Thank you for the upload.
The mounds are pretty well known among the rural population of Northeast Arkansas; maybe not so much the younger generation, but definitely many of the older people know of many of their locations. A lot of people choose to keep where they are a secret as to deter grave robbing because there are DEFINITELY bodies and artifacts buried in these mounds. The mounds are in many places, but time has helped to hide them. There is one tucked away on my family’s hunting land. Over the years farmers have tilled many of them flat for farmland and strewn their contents across large swaths of land. However there are for sure still many around. I used to have an uncle who would take us walking through the fields to look for arrow heads, of which we found plenty: along with shards of pottery and jewelry, and human bones.
Pretty badass. You should try to excavate one of those mounds if you can quietly organize the resources and manpower needed. Don’t inform any person or institution with links to academia, state authorities, or indigenous organizations though. They will absolutely take whatever artifacts are present and suppress whatever they may reveal - in order to perpetuate the current mainstream historical narrative. The truth is that - from the bog mummies of Florida to the enigmatic semi-mummified remains discovered in Paracas, Peru- evidence of ancient European, Phoenician, and Egyptian settlement and [sustained transatlantic contact] exists and is repressed by the government, academia, and the media. Research the earliest (primary sourced) accounts of the Spaniards and their encounters with the Aztecs and Incas. The educated elite of those Mesoamerican civilizations knew those Europeans were somehow linked to the White-skinned tribes that once dominated the American continents (long before nomadic tribes from Siberia arrived) and contributed to the cultures these later Amerindian civilizations maintained.
@@thebrocialist8300 wow, what if someone said should go dig up your family's cemetery? Never know how many were buried with old diamond rings. Just don't tell anyone. Your comments sound like the German doctor doing experiments at a concentration camp. Unfortunately, you along with many who are doing the above suggested on Indigenous people and artifacts probably don't realize you sound like that.
@@thebrocialist8300 WHAT? There is absolutely NO scientific proof to this BS! There is NO Afro DNA in the Americas first inhabitants, they looked hard for it, but nada, ziltch, Zero!! Only ancient DNA is from Asia, Eurasia to be exact! The Americas r as old as the earth, USA archiologists have made us the bastards of the earth! The ppl of the Americas were as good at navigating as anyone else, in some cases better! WE all knew each other or of each other thru direct or relay trade!! Finding artifacts that don't fit in a continent, is very common! The Americas and the Americas Natives r treated like a foot note, but no baby, it's VERY possible that the Americas influenced other cultures, thus the oldest mummies, r in the Americas, and the biggest and possibly the oldest pyramid is in the Americas! All this is coming to light with DNA and carbon dating! We have ALWAYS known, we have been here for millions of yrs! In time, u will know the truth! No one else ever took care of and respected the Americas like we did, we showed respect for her gifts, and NO ONE else will EVER care for her like we did and still do!

I find it amusing that they point out the "stereotypes" we modern humans carry with us, yet the program emphasizes flute and chanting that isn't demonstrable pre-Columbian here. The flute may be 60k old but that wasn't in the Americas. The sounds in the program are typical of northern Plains Indians and we have no idea if it existed when the first people came to America. Every archaeological program plays that same flute music without a clue if it was part of the culture of some past civilization. And they may have played it very differently if they did.
Well, I'm Mexican, there is in México, a whole pyramid dedicated to music. Many very advanced instruments were found there. Including flutes! Thank goodness for México and South America, they are the truth keepers!! Half of ur tribes in USA were Mexican!! We know, lies change, our ancient stories stay the same for centuries! USA is the most uninformed about Native ppl, and ur world is very Native small!!
"The oldest flute from the present-day United States is a bone flute dating before 4000 BCE. The description in the display case at Heritage Village proposes that it was side-blown, like a transverse flute, and that the player changed pitch by cupping the end of the flute with one hand."
It seems to me mounds would be incredibly useful to escape floods before we built dams. I've seen old pictures of Chattanooga under water. This might explain why most mound are near rivers. I've never been to the Mississippi river but if it's anything like the Tennessee then it floods to varying degrees from year to year usually in fall and spring. So mounds would be a way to live near water without getting washed away each year kinda like a storm shelter is a place to go to escape tornadoes.
They built mounds where the soil was easy to loosen and scoop into baskets. I live where the Caddo had numerous villages but no mounds due to it's heavy clay soils. The did have mounds further away by the Red River and Sabine River where the meandering rivers left large sand deposits that were used to build the mounds.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Hot Springs Reservation was established by Congress in 1832 as the first land set aside for future generation to enjoy. In 2032, in just eight years from now, no federal museum exists that shares the treasure of artifacts that exists from this valley. Wake up Arkansas! Fight for your right to have the right to enjoy our history! Harvard was founded in 1636. Arkansas became a state in 1836. Why are the no federal museums in Arkansas? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Plants like goosefoot were domesticated at least 3800 years ago in the region, as proven at rock shelters in Kentucky. Squash is known to me domesticated at least 5000 years ago and sunflower at least 4800 years ago.
Those ephargees are not pale-skinned Indians. They are of the dark er ones. At 42:14, that's a black/dark Indian. They took the rights of those ones and told them that they were not Indians.
The Caddo first showed up in Ohio after the Serpent Mound Complex was built. They got pushed out into Kentucky by the Iroquois then out of Kentucky by stronger tribes that wanted it as a hunting preserve. The Caddo crossed the Mississippi into Arkansas and ended up being the dominate tribe in eastern Oklahoma, western Arkansas, East Texas and NW Louisiana.
@@gew2027 They very well could be related to bands of Aztecs that migrated north into Arizona and New Mexico from the mountains of Northern Mexico and ended up by the Great Lakes by following the bison herds during their seasonal migrations. The Plains tribes Pawnee and Wichita are related by language to the Caddo so may be bands that decided to stay put in the plains while the rest of the Caddo bands headed towards the Woodlands. Bands of the various tribes moved around a lot due to droughts and being pushed out of territory that had plenty of wild game.
My great grandma was full blooded Cherokee. My great grandparents were made to leave their home and life so they could flood the area for Beaver Lake. Trying to research it but there's not much on it.
Wow, i never heard that we had code talkers in world war one. Thanks, great video. The native Americans i served with in the Marine corps were all top notch hard charging warriors.
Its nice to be going a bit further but until we can show how well the americas have always been known around the world, and the cover up, the one that just wont let go of Columbus, were still being unprofessional. This is a sad disgrace to ourselves.
Bickn Back your right I’m a native from Little Rock, Arkansas with copper colored ie....black skin...of the Cherokee tribe. I’m sooo sick of these lies!
The interpretation of the mounds as a calendar is ridiculous.. If you can stand in a single location and identify the summer and winter solstice then it would be believable. If anyone built a group of random mounds in a field you could make the same interpretation. Why did people build mounds in other parts of the world? fortified locations, burials, or religious ceremonies.
I have 40 acres that use to be an indian campground that rests above 7000 acres of btm land.ITwas dug up by one guy before I knew what was going on.Should I CONTACT SOME AGENCY?
Michael Calloway Report to the Local Tribal Agency...they will certainly have the contact information. A 1/2 cousin of mine had a boyfriend in high school who violated my Tribes Cemetery and wore the beadwork...a week later regardless of my maternal grandmother’s warning..he was involved in a motorcycle accident and became a paraplegic.
No! You don't want to get any government agency involved. Contact a state university instead to have them assay the campsites. Native campsites are a dime a dozen so researchers are only interested in their trash heaps and garbage pits.
But those are " pre - historical records " with a meaning lost in the past. Almost every one is mix. Similar ocurr with the " Ute ", they are the only group, as far a I know, who claim to be the oldest in this part of continent because in their oral there are names for each and every prehistoric animals.
Because there's not much to it. The skeletons have been dated to be from 8,000 to 10,000 years old so has been assumed it was used as a sacred burial site for several tribes over the centuries.
Every time there is a video about early North American Indians there is always a flute playing in the background. I wish they would stop that crap! These early Indians did not blow on any flutes.
Germany needs to give back all the artifacts in their museums of indegineous people's of America they have some of the best of the best tomahawk collection ,removed from entire villages that were decimated by the pox entire villages contents LETS FACE IT ALL PEOPLE ARE GRIGGEN THIEVES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ,
Are all recovered objects that were buried in caves or deep in soil or in burial mounds, “stolen”? Or were they rescued and given a chance to help us all understand and appreciate their culture and way of life. Without written histories the artifacts are vital to preserve, educate, and honor these unique first peoples.
I don't think the natives know what they mean. Maybe 1000 years ago they did. The Siberians came here 30,000 years ago which are the he native American people descendants of.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
They aren't the earliest, and their Oral History says this. So much of this "history" - isn't - it is created by Archaeologists, a spun story based on limited reality of Science a true history.
@@yonaunega6397 Native Peoples Oral Histories are largely consistent across North and Central America. The Native Americans indicate, ie, they say that "There we're other peoples here when they arrived", and/or others had inhabited areas where they chose to dwell and in some cases, rebuild. I have no clue what Color they were and that has no relevancy to my point, "They, ie, the Native Peoples said this", I'm merely sharing their Oral History. Comprende?

Ever heard of flooding? People probably got smart and built the mounds for some high ground in a flat place. And of course that's where things got buried cuz if not there then the flood waters would wash all away.
Wow to go and fight for a country, who wouldn’t let you speak your language, and had to sleep and eat in separated quarters,, but the Indians used CODE TALK to help the white man win the war

Don’t inform any person or institution with links to academia, state authorities, or indigenous organizations though. They will absolutely take whatever artifacts are present and suppress whatever they may reveal - in order to perpetuate the current mainstream historical narrative. The truth is that - from the bog mummies of Florida to the enigmatic semi-mummified remains discovered in Paracas, Peru- evidence of ancient European, Phoenician, and Egyptian settlement and [sustained transatlantic contact] exists and is repressed by the government, academia, and the media.
Research the earliest (primary sourced) accounts of the Spaniards and their encounters with the Aztecs and Incas. The educated elite of those Mesoamerican civilizations knew those Europeans were somehow linked to the White-skinned tribes that once dominated the American continents (long before nomadic tribes from Siberia arrived) and contributed to the cultures these later Amerindian civilizations maintained.
That's f****** sad
@@thebrocialist8300 wow, what if someone said should go dig up your family's cemetery? Never know how many were buried with old diamond rings. Just don't tell anyone. Your comments sound like the German doctor doing experiments at a concentration camp. Unfortunately, you along with many who are doing the above suggested on Indigenous people and artifacts probably don't realize you sound like that.

@@thebrocialist8300 WHAT? There is absolutely NO scientific proof to this BS! There is NO Afro DNA in the Americas first inhabitants, they looked hard for it, but nada, ziltch, Zero!! Only ancient DNA is from Asia, Eurasia to be exact! The Americas r as old as the earth, USA archiologists have made us the bastards of the earth! The ppl of the Americas were as good at navigating as anyone else, in some cases better! WE all knew each other or of each other thru direct or relay trade!! Finding artifacts that don't fit in a continent, is very common! The Americas and the Americas Natives r treated like a foot note, but no baby, it's VERY possible that the Americas influenced other cultures, thus the oldest mummies, r in the Americas, and the biggest and possibly the oldest pyramid is in the Americas! All this is coming to light with DNA and carbon dating! We have ALWAYS known, we have been here for millions of yrs! In time, u will know the truth! No one else ever took care of and respected the Americas like we did, we showed respect for her gifts, and NO ONE else will EVER care for her like we did and still do!

I went to school with Ben Swadley. Good to see him in this series!
I am mostly Cherokee. I lived in Arkansas for 13 years. Trail of Tears was a everyday bridge in Delaware.
My family lived and many of them were raised by the mounds in Parkin before it was a state park lived there forever I was born and raised in Parkin back by the mounds is apart of my history as well
I find it amusing that they point out the "stereotypes" we modern humans carry with us, yet the program emphasizes flute and chanting that isn't demonstrable pre-Columbian here. The flute may be 60k old but that wasn't in the Americas. The sounds in the program are typical of northern Plains Indians and we have no idea if it existed when the first people came to America. Every archaeological program plays that same flute music without a clue if it was part of the culture of some past civilization. And they may have played it very differently if they did.
i bet you're a hit at parties.
Well, I'm Mexican, there is in México, a whole pyramid dedicated to music. Many very advanced instruments were found there. Including flutes! Thank goodness for México and South America, they are the truth keepers!! Half of ur tribes in USA were Mexican!! We know, lies change, our ancient stories stay the same for centuries! USA is the most uninformed about Native ppl, and ur world is very Native small!!
@@teresafernandez9849 If anything the muskogee tribes may have used more complicated horns and drums and rattles. This dude is party pooper.
"The oldest flute from the present-day United States is a bone flute dating before 4000 BCE. The description in the display case at Heritage Village proposes that it was side-blown, like a transverse flute, and that the player changed pitch by cupping the end of the flute with one hand."

It seems to me mounds would be incredibly useful to escape floods before we built dams. I've seen old pictures of Chattanooga under water. This might explain why most mound are near rivers. I've never been to the Mississippi river but if it's anything like the Tennessee then it floods to varying degrees from year to year usually in fall and spring. So mounds would be a way to live near water without getting washed away each year kinda like a storm shelter is a place to go to escape tornadoes.
They built mounds where the soil was easy to loosen and scoop into baskets. I live where the Caddo had numerous villages but no mounds due to it's heavy clay soils. The did have mounds further away by the Red River and Sabine River where the meandering rivers left large sand deposits that were used to build the mounds.
What year, or time frame, was Chattanooga under water?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hot Springs Reservation was established by Congress in 1832 as the first land set aside for future generation to enjoy.
In 2032, in just eight years from now, no federal museum exists that shares the treasure of artifacts that exists from this valley.
Wake up Arkansas! Fight for your right to have the right to enjoy our history!
Harvard was founded in 1636. Arkansas became a state in 1836. Why are the no federal museums in Arkansas?

This is a great series
Fernando Desoto described them and the villages. But he described the peoples as “dark”.
It's my people
Plants like goosefoot were domesticated at least 3800 years ago in the region, as proven at rock shelters in Kentucky. Squash is known to me domesticated at least 5000 years ago and sunflower at least 4800 years ago.
My Family is from Arkansas for 7 generations on my father's side
Those ephargees are not pale-skinned Indians. They are of the dark er ones. At 42:14, that's a black/dark Indian. They took the rights of those ones and told them that they were not Indians.
Great narrative. Bravo.
We have many Caddo Indigenous People in Carnegie Oklahoma. They are Aboriginal To Arkansas just as the Quapaw, Osage Nation...

Down in the ark la homa tex red river bottoms
The Caddo first showed up in Ohio after the Serpent Mound Complex was built. They got pushed out into Kentucky by the Iroquois then out of Kentucky by stronger tribes that wanted it as a hunting preserve. The Caddo crossed the Mississippi into Arkansas and ended up being the dominate tribe in eastern Oklahoma, western Arkansas, East Texas and NW Louisiana.
@@billwilson3609 the caddo are a branch of Aztec
@@gew2027 They very well could be related to bands of Aztecs that migrated north into Arizona and New Mexico from the mountains of Northern Mexico and ended up by the Great Lakes by following the bison herds during their seasonal migrations. The Plains tribes Pawnee and Wichita are related by language to the Caddo so may be bands that decided to stay put in the plains while the rest of the Caddo bands headed towards the Woodlands. Bands of the various tribes moved around a lot due to droughts and being pushed out of territory that had plenty of wild game.
My great grandma was full blooded Cherokee. My great grandparents were made to leave their home and life so they could flood the area for Beaver Lake. Trying to research it but there's not much on it.
Caddo site in Fayetteville too

Can we please watch a documentary without the depressing flute music?
Too funny,more like arkansas's last people
Africans built those mounds
Wow, i never heard that we had code talkers in world war one. Thanks, great video. The native Americans i served with in the Marine corps were all top notch hard charging warriors.
Its nice to be going a bit further but until we can show how well the americas have always been known around the world, and the cover up, the one that just wont let go of Columbus, were still being unprofessional. This is a sad disgrace to ourselves.
How long yaw gon play these Hollywood games ?
Bickn Back your right I’m a native from Little Rock, Arkansas with copper colored ie....black skin...of the Cherokee tribe. I’m sooo sick of these lies!
@@EnlightenOne75 Well, is it copper colored or black?
The interpretation of the mounds as a calendar is ridiculous.. If you can stand in a single location and identify the summer and winter solstice then it would be believable. If anyone built a group of random mounds in a field you could make the same interpretation. Why did people build mounds in other parts of the world? fortified locations, burials, or religious ceremonies.

I have 40 acres that use to be an indian campground that rests above 7000 acres of btm land.ITwas dug up by one guy before I knew what was going on.Should I CONTACT SOME AGENCY?
Michael Calloway contact your local historical society they would be able to tell you who you can contact...just an idea
Michael Calloway Report to the Local Tribal Agency...they will certainly have the contact information. A 1/2 cousin of mine had a boyfriend in high school who violated my Tribes Cemetery and wore the beadwork...a week later regardless of my maternal grandmother’s warning..he was involved in a motorcycle accident and became a paraplegic.
No! You don't want to get any government agency involved. Contact a state university instead to have them assay the campsites. Native campsites are a dime a dozen so researchers are only interested in their trash heaps and garbage pits.
does anybody think mounds were built because every mound site floods annually? Maby they got tired of drowning every year for at least a month a year.
No, they were used for ceremonial burial. There are bodies and artifacts buried in them.
It has went further .
But those are " pre - historical records " with a meaning lost in the past. Almost every one is mix.
Similar ocurr with the " Ute ", they are the only group, as far a I know, who claim to be the oldest in this part of continent because in their oral there are names for each and every prehistoric animals.
Why no interest in the over 100 thousand skeletons in yell county,arkansas.
jason mills what’s that about?
It,s about our beautiful black n Cooper color people ab originals
I need to make a trip, and we definitely need to get some reputable archeologists and anthropologists so we can run DNA samples and connect the dots
Because there's not much to it. The skeletons have been dated to be from 8,000 to 10,000 years old so has been assumed it was used as a sacred burial site for several tribes over the centuries.
Because those skeleton tell the truth . The truth of who and what the indigenous people looked like. Tell the truth !
Every time there is a video about early North American Indians there is always a flute playing in the background. I wish they would stop that crap! These early Indians did not blow on any flutes.
I love when they can’t explain artifacts, because they’re STOLEN & native Americans refuse to explain what they mean. 🌚
What a wonderful point of view 🙄
Germany needs to give back all the artifacts in their museums of indegineous people's of America they have some of the best of the best tomahawk collection ,removed from entire villages that were decimated by the pox
entire villages contents
LETS FACE IT ALL PEOPLE ARE GRIGGEN THIEVES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ,
Are all recovered objects that were buried in caves or deep in soil or in burial mounds, “stolen”? Or were they rescued and given a chance to help us all understand and appreciate their culture and way of life. Without written histories the artifacts are vital to preserve, educate, and honor these unique first peoples.
I don't think the natives know what they mean. Maybe 1000 years ago they did. The Siberians came here 30,000 years ago which are the he native American people descendants of.

They aren't the earliest, and their Oral History says this.
So much of this "history" - isn't - it is created by Archaeologists, a spun story based on limited reality of Science a true history.

@@yonaunega6397
Native Peoples Oral Histories are largely consistent across North and Central America. The Native Americans indicate, ie, they say that "There we're other peoples here when they arrived", and/or others had inhabited areas where they chose to dwell and in some cases, rebuild. I have no clue what Color they were and that has no relevancy to my point, "They, ie, the Native Peoples said this", I'm merely sharing their Oral History.

Heads on poles?
Ever heard of flooding? People probably got smart and built the mounds for some high ground in a flat place. And of course that's where things got buried cuz if not there then the flood waters would wash all away.

You can only "know" if you lived within the culture. Otherwise, it is speculation.

Treasure Junkies As an indigenous Native American Indian who has experienced “supernatural” circumstances in my part of Northern America...not a great idea to keep these items in your home. If they were n my possession, I would return them in a secret location. I would say a prayer along with the reburial. God Bless
