A few years ago I went with my sons school class to a local Native American
cultural center on a field trip, while I was there I struck up a conversation
about the pre Columbian moundbuilding culture with one of the people who worked
there and he had no idea what I was talking about.

So many different tribes, headresses and now, too many mounds. Who can keep it
all straight...........8^)

Always here for my fellow syngraphist or oenophile.

The mounds aren't too hard actually. There were three distinct
cultures in the midwest and south that engaged in moundbuilding over a
3 thousand year period from approx 1500 BC to 1500 AD. Some of the cultures
overlapped during that time and sometimes in the same areas. I wish they
had issued coins but alas..... collecting mound culture artifacts is popular
but controversial.
