Recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as a World Heritage Site, Cahokia Mounds is located in the current day city of Collinsville, Illinois. Near the Mississippi River, this pre-history site is made of mounds scattered around an area of about Three and a half square miles of land. The park may be large, but the actual city of Cahokia in pre-history spread much further than what the park is recognized as today. Cahokia is recognized by historians as part of the Mississippian culture which groups them with other native civilizations that lived along the Mississippi River who shared architectural styles (like the mounds fount in Cahokia) as well as other attributes like maize based economics and tools

The rise of political and social complexity can be seen in the mound building cultures of eastern North America. Ames and Maschner listed the aspects of socio-political and cultural complexity as: sedentism, built structures, social stratification, storage, embryonic property rights, dispute-resolution strategies, and elaborated ritual or symbolic life. Mound builders were found in eastern North America, with the greatest concentration of mounds found in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Mounds are a type of elaborate earthwork usually built of soil or shell with a variety of shapes, including flat topped, rounded, slight rises of the landscape, and geometric or animal shapes. Mounds were used for burials, territorial markers, some had temples

Located in the heart of the Flint Hills, Pioneer Bluffs, a classic farmstead north of Matfield Green with a natural beauty and repository of Kansas farming and ranching heritage, is now a respected arts and education center. It is also a National Register Historic District with a classic early 20th century farm house, barns, and old limestone fence. Visitors can engage nature, art, and history through Prairie Talk discussions, The Gallery at Pioneer Bluffs contemporary art exhibit, and Maud’s Garden which grows local foods. In addition, the venue hosts the Fall Festival and other community events. In doing so, Pioneer Bluffs carries on the Rogler legacy of respecting the land, preserving history, and engaging community.

Archaeologists were attracted to Cahokia because of the many earthen mounds that were built in the region by ancient Americans.

Minnesota is right next to North and South Dakota and across from Nebraska. Minnesota is very humid and cold in the winter but in the summer it gets to about 75 to 80 degrees F. Minnesota owns all of Voyageurs national park. Minnesota is a great and wonderful state. Minnesota has so many interesting facts.

All these theories seem to be probably but the purpose of the mounds really depend on the time, location, and the tribes who created them. In my opinion

I am from North Ridgeville Ohio, a city that is roughly a half-hour from downtown Cleveland. I have lived there my whole life and have live in the same general area of this city. The town was first settled in May of 1810. It was not named North Ridgeville until 9 years later when the first post office was constructed. As of 2015, the town has grown to an estimated 25 square miles, “third in Lorain County”, witch an estimate population of 32,983 (24k). The population is almost 50:50 with Female to Male ratio with an average age of dwellers as 41 years old. The town is full of many small businesses and a few grocery stores. There is a lot of farmland in North Ridgeville. The city just expanded its education system by building a new school

The Cahokia Mounds characterized Mississippian culture and environment from around 600 to 1400 CE. They were situated directly across the Mississippi river and were basically large human made earthen mounds. It was these large human made mounds of “packed earth” that impacted the social structure of the eastern woodland peoples in a profound way. These mounds were situated right next to large (around fifty acres) rectangular plazas. Small communities also filled the spaces all around the mounds. Above all the mounds were platforms to perform rituals and were also built to cover

The Wisconsin Glaciation had effected Minnesota heavily, like it formed moraines that cover many different counties. The glacier also left lakes and drumlins. This glaciation was the most recent Glaciation in Minnesota, it still happened tens of thousands of years ago.

The image that I first selected was the Cahokia Mounds. The land covered about 2,000 acres and ranged from 10,000-30,000 people (64). According to the image, the inhabitants live by farming and they had great architectures. They had a well organized community and it looks to follow a certain order. Basically, the community was well kept and organized. The image shows a society that is proper and that everyone in the community has an important part in the community. That each individual has a certain part in the community that keeps it rolling. Overall, the inhabitants had a structure of their society that showed how organized and well put the community was.

Also, for the mounds in these cities, wood and dirt was used. Unfortunately, the wood from the surrounding area was sometimes overused, which led to the eventual flooding of Cahokia. They built the mounds for many different reasons, as they served many different purposes, from functioning as burial grounds to the bases of temples and palaces. Other Native American cultures were not mound-builders, which is a very big difference. Also, the Cahokia people (as mentioned on the video) did not live in tepees, as typically thought that Native Americans did. The people of Moundville lived in “small houses composed of pole and thatch (according to the Moundville

A Mississippian native American society located on the Etowah River south of Bartow County. Settled in the year c. 1000 to late the 16th century. Their land spanned for 54 acres, on the land the citizens built elaborate structures and artifacts. The most notable are the Etowah earthen mounds that have a width up to 200 sq ft and a height of more than 60 sq ft. This society was very well established which is shown through their organized hierarchies in as well as trading routes with other tribes. As Europeans came in contact with the Etowah their demise began. Like many other tribes they suffered violence and disease, which decimated their populations. Survivors had to create new political networks and reorganize themselves. All in all, this

It was one of Minnesota’s biggest industries was milling. Milling was one of the three major industries in the state and it was because of St. Anthony falls. A specific major city that was involved in flour milling was Minneapolis. For a span of about fifty year from 1880 to 1930, Minneapolis was milling company of the world. One of the state's baseball teams, the Minneapolis Millers, were named because of the milling industry in Minnesota. From this, we can interpret

Twin city has been considered one of my home towns every since I was a little girl. I have never looked into the history of this small place. However I can tell you about the stories I had from relatives and research I have done. My mother told me stories about when the stories had candy for 10 cent and less, we also had gas for much cheaper. There was not as many stores as we have now which mean it was even smaller. Also there is more people who live in Twin City than before. Emanuel County Institute consists of two schools TCE and ECI which i have been attending for all my life. We also had a primary school which is not currently opened anymore, my mother also us to attend that school. We do not have many park or play grounds in the area but, we do have one good park called Georgia L Smith state park.
