Film @ Grave Creek: Ancient America: Eastern Woodlands

November 18, 2021 @ 7:00 pm 8:00 pm

An overview of the prehistoric Native American cultures who left their mark on the eastern United States, narrated by Cherokee actor and Oklahoma native Wes Studi (Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans). The film begins with Ice Age hunter-gatherers and moves on to people who adopted more agrarian lifestyles. The documentary focuses on earthworks and mounds like the Poverty Point earthworks in Louisiana and the Hopewell culture of the Ohio River Valley. European contact is evident at Emerald Mound in Mississippi – still used ceremonially when the early European explorers arrived.
