Thank you, I just found a very large stone frog painted red and black. I found it at a large mound that they destroyed for a housing complex. I’ve been jumping up and down trying to get the site saved but getting people to care about history is not easy. People say they do, it’s easy to type something but when it comes down to it really it’s tough. The whole reason for the channel here is to try to get these artifacts saved and to recognize the culture that is still being dismissed here in the states.

I’m in the deep southeast. Same thing. Distribution centers being built on important sites…birds everywhere

The title of this video led me to think it'd be about the Hopewell Culture itself, not grass. Not that there's anything wrong with grass or with maintaining the national park in harmony with archaeology, but I'm not sure why I'm still watching lol

Hopewell Culture - Historical background - OSU South Center.
To the Parks Rangers I ask and say:
No the mounds were not built by Native Americans, as you think of them, there were two distinct groups in the Hopewell peoples one light skinned, they built the mounds, the other darker, or slightly reddish, skinned, no they didn't forget who built the mounds, and by 400 AD the lighter skinned people, with the exception of some over time that immigrated to areas farther away and unknown and some who integrated into the others tribes or groups, were all destroyed by the darker skinned people which are known as the Indigenous peoples, or as are called Native Americans today.
Where are the destroyed Menorah works making a Seventh area???
World Heritage BS steals more of our Sovereignty!
To Yogi Rout:
Very knowledgeable!

2nd group is 600bc-400ad. Matches your timeline and why the hopewell built on the existing adena culture. Adena = jaredites and hopewell = nephites & lamanites.

[@user-yr9lt7dz8k]

Don't forget about the Mulekites. They are in there too!
