One of the most interesting facets of Native American history in North America is the group of cultures collectively known as the Mound Builders. The Mound Builders are so named for their practice of constructing large earthen mounds.
These mounds were made in a variety of styles, for a variety of purposes, over a long period of time.

No one else seems to have a problem referring to them collectively as Mound Builders.
Actual artifacts are always more interesting than folklore.

Dr. Sutherland is contesting the dismissal through her union, so she can regain access to her research. Currently the Helluland Project has been suspended.
