Mound Builder, 9th to 13th Century
Archaeologists continue to discover new earthen mounds along the
Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers. Effigy Mounds National Monument
above Marquette, Iowa preserves and educates us about these mysterious
prehistoric mounds and the people who built them. Not too far away from
the rivers' confluence there is a rock shelter pictograph of legendary people
ancestors of our present day Ho-Chunk. Ho-Chunk elder, Chloris Lowe Sr.,
has drawn a picture of what one of these figures (possibly Red Horn) would
look like as a man of that time. This sculpture is based on that drawing.
