I get that. As a kid I was exposed to golf at The Moundbuilders Country Club in Newark, Ohio. What the hell?
I'm talking right in the midst of sacred burial grounds. Unfortunately, at less than 12, I didn't know any better. 🙁

Unlike many prehistoric nomadic camps, the village at Crystal River evolved into a prominent, multicultural ceremonial center.

If you search hard enough and know what to see, traces of how Native Americans shaped the landscape are still visible. The most visible of are from the moundbuilders, a remnant of a vast little-known civilization.

The Toltec Mounds are ancient earthworks about 22 miles southeast of Little Rock, Arkansas. They were built around 650 CE by Native Americans known as the Plum Bayou culture. #MoundBuilders #archaeology #anthropology #ancientcultures #science #history

The Myth of the Moundbuilders is, unfortunately, still alive and going strong!

This topic is Michigan copper, part of the Old Copper Complex (OCC).

Copper tools have been RC dated to 8,500 years ago in Minnesota.

(Too) many still believe Minoans sailed across the Atlantic to mine Cu in Michigan!

How about some fast-paced indigenous scifi? First contact with aliens, NASA, Cherokee Nation and moundbuilders!

25 years ago today, which was in 1999 the day after Thanksgiving, the front page of the @NewarkAdvocate announced that Moundbuilders Country Club planned to triple the size of their existing 1964 clubhouse. An artist's rendering shows the current structure in the middle of a much larger complex.

It's looking like our MC is a lost princess of these Moundbuilders, called Firstborns.

Nope I can't. There are too many worthwhile myths/folklore to draw from. You can't have the lynchpin of your novel be based off a racist tale made up by European settlers to justify genocide.

We don't know much about the society that made them, often called the "Hopewell," but the moundbuilders of Ohio were fascinating. The Great Circle, Octagon, and High Point earthworks are all stunning.

That's the Mississippian moundbuilders. Before they came along the late woodland Effigy Moundbuilders just wanted to draw cool pictures for birds, or whatever else they thought was up there in the sky checking them out.

It’s finally happening! Soon, one of the most important preColumbian historical sites in North America will no longer be a golf course. And it appears the country club has bumbled its way into getting a bad deal too, so win-win
