  • Why do our textbooks and museums not recognize the pre-Columbus peoples of north east Ohio? Why are there so many mounds and earthworks being ignored by archaeologists? Clearly the Cuyahoga Valley National Park was once home to an ancient and massive civilization. In this video we delve into the Cuyahoga River's largest tributary, the Tinker's Creek.
    "The gorge" as it is known locally hosts many ancient Native American sites, mounds, earthworks and artifacts. It's only more abundant resource seems to be mystery and deceit. Careful you stay on the path or Cleveland Metro-parks Police or one of their many vigilante volunteers will be sure to show up and let you know... there is nothing to see here. Nothing except the mounds large enough to be hiding an ancient temple. Or perhaps evidence of Mayan influence in the Late Woodland period.

    So, I grew up hiking Tinkers Creek. I personally witnessed people die there. I have witnessed many natural wonders. I have hiked the entire creek from Dunham road to the Bedford end just before the Rangers station. Twice I illegally did a midnight bike ride through the park. This video opened my eyes to a larger picture. I know of the tales oh Haunted Ohio. Yes both the Bedford reservation and the Cuyahoga National Valley Park systems make sure the entire truth not be told. One example is the Jaite Trailhead. The park has closed trails, history has been erased. Growing up and now I am old this video had my heart pumping with excitement. Thank you as this is yet anothe piece of the puzzle of where I grew up. Oh, the bike rides at midnight were very scary, the first went well, the second we, me and a brave friend had ti ditch it into the woods at top speed to avoid the Park Rangers.

    So my brother and I would frequent these park systems quite often when we lived nearby. It was off trail you would find the most amazing things and feel the true serenity of this place. Anyway off trail one day my brother found the coolest spot it was a circle of stone chairs, not little stones either, big heavy ones. Thier was one that had a triangle point as the seat back. It was like the chief chair we called it. When my brother showed me I was like who in thier right mind could have moved those heavy stones like that way off the trail? Now this has got me thinking and I wonder how long that circle of stone chairs has really sat down their🤔

I wasn't even looking for artifacts I just found it in a yard of a very old house. I wish I still had it. Unfortunately I dropped it out of cement floor and it shattered.

Which they stole land from the Seneca chief cornplanters family in order to build the damn and create. Also there are giant Boulder cities on top of mountains here that were built and inhabited by natives long long ago. Such places as rim rock. So I know these cultures came pretty car north. As I am not far from the start of the Allegheny. Only about 1 1\2 south of buffalo.

Clay shards and drawings in caves in twinsburg date back to native Americans s far back as 500 years ago. It's a fascinating creek and I've explored it for miles on foot and never grown tired of it.

Most older items would be buried much deeper or degraded over time from weather and natural forces. Lots of relics from the 1800s and early 1900s are still able to be found. Arrowheads, spears, clay shards and such mostly found in caves or rivers, are older, probably nothing older than the 1500s-1700s , but still antique.

Maybe a rogue or displaced group tried it, it's possible. It's certainly not worth destroying the legacy we do have to find out.

The park is right on a gorge, as are most megalithic sites. There are numerous stone walls, standing stones, stone structures that appear to be Dolmens and caves that seem unnatural.

They have also in recent years sold massive tracts of timber from these sites and the skidders and other equipment tear the sites to shreds. They need that money to hire people to sit around or start fires that kill bats so they can get more funding to "protect" the bats.

Some have churches and cemtaries. They completely designed everything we see. Hills and valleys. Arrowheads were made for cutting through roots in the woods and planting crops.

    I think the pic at 1:39 is just remains from the Erie Canal.
    We do have sites, but so many of them were destroyed &/ or forgotten over the years. Many other rumored places are faked. A few may have existed & were never historically noted or reported. In my research, there were about three village sites in various places around Cleveland (presumably from around 1600, when whatever people were living there began getting sick & decided their village must be cursed, so they had to move it.), three more village sites in Ashtabula County, a looted & destroyed indian burial ground in Parkman, another burial ground along the Cuyahoga River that has been noted & excavated by archaeologists, a burial mound in Kent, another in North Benton which no longer exists, a petroglyph site in Lake or Ashtabula Counties (I forget where), presumably another nearly gone petroglyph site in Geauga County near Middlefield which I passed once & can now no longer find the location or or any evidence it ever existed, & third petroglyph site right on the Ohio River in East Liverpool, which is now inaccessible due to the building of a dam & the water pressure may have likely scrubbed it clean, by now, and an odd structure at the head of the Grand River that was clearly man-made, but no one was ever able to make sense of it & a few surviving path marking trees, like Akron's semi-famous Signal Tree.
    From after 1700, there is another village under Cleveland, a village under Conneaut, a village under Andover, one in the Cuyahoga National Forest & Youngstown's Council Rock, where the Shawnee & Lenape would gather for political & celebratory occasions, though it's been moved from its original location.

      "Officially" it's the remnants of a 'grist mill' from the late 1700's. The only existing maps from the time corroborate this, despite it being:
      1. Impossible from an engineering standpoint to construct a rough cut stone dam wall that terminates on the opposite side of the river, which is a shale cliff face
      2. The large blocks that were supposedly from the wall have fallen upstream in the river surge
      3. No deed records exist of this grist mill's owner either buying or leasing said property despite records being kept from the time period in question
      Remnants of a mill can be found a little further downstream where the Tinker's Creek was diverted. I hope to do a video in the future about the ox trail leading to and from the "grist mill" as well as the massive earthworks and stone ruins in the vicinity. :)

    There are identical stones walls and ruins on a Sacred mountain, now inhabited by "odd" people on Crow Mountain near Russellville ARKANSAS. There is so many caves there, writings, but no one knows because the locals don't say much.

    I note (at 3.29 in transcript) that an evaluation test pit could not be dug at a site as there was a bogus claim that there was a 19th century graveyard there. But it seems it would have been fine to dig the mound belonging to the indigenous population and that there might have been monetary value to the artefacts they would hope to find. How disgusting is that?

      I wish I knew but I have some theories. Radio carbon dates already documented by archaeologists seem problematic (like the 9,200 year old human remains found next to the Chagrin River), especially when combined with the sheer size of some of the earthworks. Also there's: industrial pollutants, corruption, and some really odd partnerships between billionaire real estate investors and the department of the interior as well as advanced material scientists and the department of defence. I'm hoping to make a video about it soon - but I'm a little hesitant.

    Some of this is ridiculous. I’ve spent a lot of time down in that gorge and see a lot of modern man’s mark in it. The stone wall is not ancient, nor are the stone fire pits along the bridal trail.
    With that said, I have seen old marking trees along some of the trails. To think there wasn’t any ancient peoples walking this area is also ridiculous.

    At this point the health of the park, maintaining old growth trees/threatened species and resource recovery is far more important than digging up graves for undetermined archaeological or monetary value. And I have to believe the pre-Columbus? (think that one's been debunked) peoples would understand that far better than we can even wrap our selfish short-sighted little minds around. I have never heard anyone deny the Cuyahoga Valley or Metroparks are rich with indigenous history; indeed all you need to do is read the names of 3/4 of the areas from Cleveland on down to well, the whole river...
    There are plenty of petroglyphs along the creeks in the Metroparks that are visible to anyone. There are constant explorer programs for adults and children that talk history and search artifacts. In the realm of park management sometimes there are sites that have yet to be studied, are waiting on grant approval or require much specialized time and research and don't get trails built straight to them so thousands of people, even the most respectful of hikers, can tread them down. I have never been deterred in my wanderings in any of the parks, except by dangerous area signs. In fact, in doing so I have met some amazing people doing the work that will keep our current and future loved ones alive. Also, Reclamation Signs are no BS-a couple of fungus spores, errant seeds or a leaf with insect eggs stuck to the bottom of your boots and you alone can ruin a recovering prairie or struggling wetland.
    I think if you do some additional research you'll find that jagged, hilly environments with great gorges and grand abundant trees were not where our ancestor friends tended to build mound formations. No one's hiding a Cahokia here. In CVNP and the Metroparks we have a old forested areas that someday may become the closest thing America has to an ancient forest. Do you know how many people, moreso children, have never seen a tree so big they couldn't wrap their arms around it? I think the richest legacy we have from our area's native population is the trees (and with them biodiversity) they managed to protect.
    There may be a little hush and secrecy around trying to reclaim, contain, and detoxify the river and Helltown-but that's about your biggest mystery here. Just that and farmers with land disputes. I think you'll find people of the area have just proven far more interested in river fires, i.e. Burning Water, and the Canal Way/Towpath trail eras of history. It's monuments are so clearly visible, easily explainable and linked to the present. It's an interesting story and no one has to think about the battles raged for the land. A lot of indigenous history was probably destroyed for the sake of the Towpath, but by no one alive today. If you want an in depth history of the Valley's ancestral communities start at Cuyahoga Falls and work out from there. Or you can start at Lake Erie and take it into the MetroParks. If there are bones we can leave them buried for another 100 years, rather than destroy the beauty we have and nature we need to risk digging up a the few usual artifacts, ancient trash mounds and privies, or nothing at all. If you want to recognize and respect the original people of NE Ohio go take a walk in the woods and take all your senses, the elders will speak directly to you.

      While I agree with much of ur well written post. I must disagree that mounds are not worth excavating. My Ind. education emphasized Columbus discovery of America over the Native peoples that have been here far longer. It's just more of to the victor goes the spoils of war.

    • @hiddenohiohistory
      @hiddenohiohistory  Год назад +4

      What's worse is when industrialists pay experts to claim mounds are "glacial in origin" so businesses and municipalities can mine them for gravel fill or other. I don't know if they should be excavated, but I'd at least like them to be acknowledged as existing and actually protect them. Ignoring them and trying to hide them is how sites end up looted.

      @@brettwentz1020 I too was raised on Columbus though it never made sense to me that he was the first here, so I always assumed he was just a figurehead. In 11th grade our history teacher read us Columbus's journals and ruined my ability to take teachers or textbooks as end sources of truth. And I believe neglecting history results in a loss of connection to place and ancestors, which isn't healthy. I want to smack a few generations for not respecting the wisdom of ancestors, which cost us some very essential knowledge about biodiversity, land management and greed. And so now 90% of our elders today are old, rich white dudes who deserve zero respect. I think potential sites are worth protecting from industry (and now in Ohio thanks to HB 507 snuck through over the holidays, we now have to protect them from government agencies mean to preserve our resources) and ignorance. In fact, nothing makes my blood boil quite like industrial "progress" or "energy" development. The greater part of my belief is that we need to first back these all consuming monsters off before we even take the time to study or excavate sites. As it stands right now you could be happily studyng a site with your whole graduate class only to come back from a long weekend to find it suspiciously burnt to the ground rendering it a loss or "dangerous" site that you can no longer access.

I have a deep feeling of reverence and like to experience the sacredness of a maintained, but undisturbed site.Petroglyphs make me feel that way. There's a compromise possible there.

Viking long boats have been researched. however, I am not aware of anything early american natives had that we could research. I am not any kind of an expert here.

      No. The soil is very acidic. Usually human remains are completely gone. Except in the rare occasion that they're found in a well built megalithic tomb, in which case the remains quickly disappear within bureaucracy and the tomb is covered over. Look up 1853 Everett school house.
