<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4366156, member: 51347&quot;]I remember when they first started to excavate the mounds in late 60&#039;s.&nbsp; We were on a trip to the Ozarks, and happened on their excavations.&nbsp; They were welcoming, but of course we could not be in the digs. (I was fascinated and disappointed that I could not go into the pit and help with the digging!) We spent a big chunk of the day there, pulling time from our 12 hour drive, so we spent the night in the area. Very cool, and it was the next night that the News featured this excavation find.&nbsp; As a kid, it was fun and amazing to first see them &quot;discovering&quot;.&nbsp; For me it was very impressionable that we were witnessing the discovery of Native American High Culture. Really cool and made me proud at a young age, as I have a slice of Cherokee in my blood. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Remember, at this time TV and Movies were focused on Cowboys and Indians.&nbsp; And, at that, all of those impressions were of the PLAINS Indians.&nbsp; Learning other Native Americans&#039; cultures, especially discovering Cahokia as very impressionable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
