Another cool fact; Illinois has the largest Pyramid north of the Southern border called Monk Mound and was the cultural center of Cahokia, a huge native city! But, you never hear about it, truly a shame.

Not surprising considering they also almost made the bison extinct so the Natives would have a harder time surviving

This is what Zootopia 2 was telling us about. We do horrendous things like this all the time and don't tell our offspring.

They did this to also push the narrative we were primitive cave people killing eachother to justify the genocide against us, they still do it today. When in reality we had trade routes, systems of government, permanent 'city states' and territories that were respected, very little was war actually fought because we had systems to mediate conflicts as well.

the settlers knew what the mounds were (roughly, anyway). the destruction was an intentional act of conquest in the same vein as the taliban blowing up the buddhas of bamiyan or ISIS destroying literally every historic or cultural site they had under their control. as philosopher zack de la rocha once put it: “who controls the past now controls the future. who controls the present now controls the past”

This is a Mississippian bowl that I was working with at my museum last week. 😞 Their pottery was beautiful and truly incredible that it has survived this long in such good condition.
