The Oto Sioux Hopewell Norton Burial Mounds in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Dating as early as 400 B.C. the Norton Mounds are a northern extension of the Oto Sioux Hopewell burial mounds and earthworks that are found throughout Indiana extending to the Ohio River.  Despite their Sioux origins the politically correct libs have handed over the Sioux artifacts and skeletal remains to Algonquin Indians who only lived in the region in historic times.

    This is also the case in downtown Grand Rapids where the Converse mound group was located before being destroyed for fill dirt by the city.  A reproduction of the Hopewell Sioux burial mounds was constructed near the site. Unfortunately, these mounds don't recognize their original builders, but have opted for the politically correct assignment to the Algonquins who have no history of being mound builders.

One of the eleven Hopewell burial mounds at the Norton site.  It's been a few years but on my last visit there was evidence of university archaeologist graverobbers digging in and around the burial mounds.  The University of Michigan has been the number one destroyer of burial mounds in the 20th century. 

Several of the Hopewell Sioux mounds are grouped close enough together to get two in on photograph. In Indiana archaeologists have admitted that the burial mounds were of Oto Sioux Hopewell origins but have not empied their vast shelves of artifacts and skeletal remains and returned them.  Maybe Indiana and Michigan academics will eventually do the right thing and return all the skeletal remains and artifacts they have looted from Native American burial mounds and return them to their legitimate ancestors.
