Shawnee Indians Claim the Serpent Mound as Their Own, Despite Their Ancient Chiefs Saying the Mounds Were There When They Arrived

Historic chiefs of the Shawnee, Sac and other Algonquins were quoted as knowing nothing about the mounds except they were built by an earlier people, and they were not the builders of the mounds or earthworks.  Iroquois Chief, Joseph Brant also claimed that the burial mounds were there when they arrived and were built by an earlier people. www.nephilimgiants.net : Chief Joseph Brant Claims Ohio Mounds Built by a "Long gone by, there came white men from a Foreign Country"

  "He was told by the Indian Chief Cornstalk, with whom he had frequent conversations, that Ohio and Kentucky (and Tennessee also is associated with Kentucky in prehistoric ethnography by Rafinesque) had once been settled by white people who were familiar with arts of which the Indians knew nothing; that these whites, after a series of bloody contest with the Indians, had been exterminated; that the old burial places were the graves of an unknown people; and that the old forts had not been built by Indians, but had come down from ' a very long ago' people, who were of a white complexion and skilled in the arts."
