The Cherokee Mound Builders were a Native American culture that lived in the southeastern United States. However, it is important to note that the term "Cherokee Mound Builders" is a misnomer as the Cherokee people themselves did not build the mounds.
The mounds that the Cherokee people later inhabited were built by earlier indigenous cultures, often referred to as the "Mound Builders." These prehistoric cultures constructed earth mounds for various purposes, including religious ceremonies, burials, and as platforms for important structures.
To learn more about the Mound Builders and their specific cultures and archaeological sites, I suggest visiting reputable sources such as Wikipedia and sites dedicated to Native American history and archaeology. These resources will provide detailed information about the different Mound Builder cultures and their respective mound sites.
For general information about the Mound Builders, you can visit the Wikipedia page on "Mound Builders" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mound_Builders) or the website "Mississippian Artifacts" (http://www.mississippian-artifacts.com/).
If you are specifically interested in the Cherokee people's history and their relationship to the mounds, you can visit websites like "ngeorgia.com" (http://ngeorgia.com/parks/etowah.html) or "thepeoplespaths.net" (http://www.thepeoplespaths.net/special/mounds.htm) for relevant information and links. These sites will provide insightful details about the Cherokee people and their connections to the mound sites in their ancestral lands.
Remember to always double-check the information from multiple sources and use reputable websites to ensure accurate and reliable information. Enjoy your research!
