Miami County, Indiana Oto Sioux Hopewell Burial Mound

  This large mound is situated near a small creek in the lowland that may have been flooded when the mound was built. It sits on a nearly circular elevation that may have been artificially cut or constructed to elevate the mound above the floodplain. Locals have called it the “top hat” mound because of the circular platform on which it sits. The property owner said that about ten years ago, her husband was cultivating the adjacent field when he hit a bed of cobbles that was laid out in a square. After removing these, he found underneath a stone tablet with inscriptions that looked “Chinese.” The tablet was next to the house for years but got mixed up with stones being removed from the field and buried in a large rock pile. Per the request of the owner of this property, the location is not given in fear that University archaeologists may destroy the mound.

This Oto Sioux burial mound was located in a rare book published in the early 1980s called "Wheels of Time." The author tracked down many of the burial mounds in Northwest Indiana and was invaluable in finding this site and many others in this part of the state.

The location of the burial mounds in the County: "

In the southwest quarter of the northeast quarter of section 2 are two old mounds about eight feet high and thirty feet in diameter. . ." West of their place, in the north center party Section 5, are two similar mounds. . . South of there, on the west side of the center of Section 15, is a larger mound, probably fifteen feet high and fifty feet in diameter. All these mounds are near the creek; headwaters to Lake Manitou over in Fulton County. For all 85 burial mounds and earthworks in Indiana www.nephilimgiants.net : 121 Photos of Burial Mounds in Ohio Including the :Address Restricted" Sites

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. 

 

 Hopewell Mound Builder's Use of the Length of 250 Feet to Symbolize the Sun and the Serpent

    In the Middle Woodland Period when the Beaker People had merged with the Hopewell Sioux, there was a change in the size of the Sun Temples or Henges from 660 feet in circumference or 210 feet in diameter to 250 feet in diameter.

Two henges located in Chillicothe, Ohio that were aligned to the Equinox sunrise and sunset. They are both 250 feet in diameter.

A group of four henges also located in Chillicothe, Ohio that were also 250 feet in circumference. Three of the henges are aligned to the Equinox sunrise with another aligned to the south.

The Dunlap Works in Chillicothe, Ohio also had a circle that was 250 feet in circumference.

To the northwest of Mound City in Chillicothe, Ohio was another Sun Temple (henge) that was aligned to the Equinox sunrise and 250 feet in circumference.

At the New Castle, Indiana henge site was another Sun Temple with an alignment to the equinox sunrise and a diameter of 250 feet.

This serpentine work that was located at the bottom of Spruce Hill was also constructed of stone. The length of 250 feet has a symbolic parallel with the serpent. We could deduce that the Serpent and the sun were both represented by the length of 250 feet.
