Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the historical evidence and cultural practices that link Native American tribes to the construction of ancient Ohio mounds. The author examines the mounds' architectural similarities to dwellings of contemporary tribes, and the presence of artifacts indicating a sedentary lifestyle, such as hearths, pottery, and tools. The book also analyzes burial customs, such as communal burials and the use of stone graves, which align with practices documented among certain tribes. By tracing the continuity of these cultural markers, the author argues that the mounds were likely built by ancestors of the Cherokee and other tribes, challenging the notion that they were the work of a separate, extinct civilization. This well-researched and engaging study sheds new light on the complex history of Native American mound-building and provides valuable insights into their cultural and architectural traditions.
