Destroy an Indian-built mound for a shopping facility? What could possibly go wrong?

I know. What an excellent premise that's already been used in some form or other about 28 times. But see...this time it could be based on actual events!herbivore12 wrote:These people have never been to the movies, clearly.Dale wrote:city officials ignore calls to save 1,500-year-old Indian-built mound

Re: Indian Burial Mound
I find this to be the telling detail - It's on that says it all, really, & really sums up the deep well of understanding and respect that must underlie Alabamans' attitudes toward scholarship, native heritage, and the past.The city paid to have part of the hill taken down for fill at a Sam's Club.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Re: Indian Burial Mound
Although I note the link says mound, not burial mound. Do we know for sure what its purpose was?

Re: Indian Burial Mound
This is why they removed the Creeks, the Chickasaws, the Seminoles, the Choctaws, and the Cherokees. These people just knew they could make better use of the land.
Oklahoma had to make strict laws about it after a mining company blasted one of the most important mound sites in the Southern United States, at Spiro, Oklahoma, looting the treasures and leaving remains scattered over the ground. The WPA then excavated it in a more scientific manner, and now it's a state park.
