Movie - Myths and Moundbuilders
PBS Home video, 1991
Myths and Moundbuilders uncovers the mystery that troubled American settlers in the great river valleys of the midwest and southeast. What were those many earth mounds dotting the wooded landscape? Finally, in 1897, the relationship between the mounds and Indian descendants came to light through the work of Cyrus Thomas. Thomas also suggested that not all mounds were built by the same Indian tribes, a theory supported by evidence recently revealed.
