In Connecticut and New York State, there are many prominent stones, boulders, stone walls and chambers. Many of these retain such names as “Indian Rock” and “Indian Ledge Road” to this day. These places have been known for centuries and are ubiquitous to the region.

@@kenhart5259 Correct they did not but the Native people of the Northeast did. There is no magical thinking just knowledge based off years of researching ceremonial stone landscapes a term created by the United South and Eastern Tribes in order to have places like the one in the video recognize and protected.

At 21:08 it looks like a niche built into the stone row. It would be interesting to see if it has an orientation to the soltice or equinox. You point out an interestingly shapped stone to its right prior to that. V shaped notches in stone were considered portals to te underworld. You may have a location with a ceremonial strucutre there. Good work. I am not sure I've seen an enclosure of that size before, or completely surrounding a wetland. That's pretty cool.

Sacred enclosure or spirit stones are usually called Manitou Hassanash. The white quartz is a sign of ceremonial or sacred use. You won’t find stones that are quarried because it goes against the whole purpose of the structure which is to maintain balance and harmony between above and below, man and animal, earth and sky, the spirit world, and the physical world. The water coming out of the Earth is considered to be sacred. It’s interesting that these places are also found in other parts of the world, such as Ireland and Scotland and England, and even in Mediterranean and African countries believe it or not. Even the Phoenicians would put burial grounds right next to a spring of water and erect stones there in memory of the dead or ancestors long gone. Something to think about.

The word I was looking for regarding enclosed sacred areas is Qusuqaniwutok. Doug Harris, the former Deputy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Narragansett, stated that Manitou Hassanash are large stone cairns. It is interesting that creating sacred areas around springs is a practice found all around the world.

@@mysteriousmountains yes it is! Very interesting. As far as the word cairn goes… that is an English translation which came from Celtic countries such as Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. That is the appropriate word for the stone piles in those places, but the word or descriptive term in this continent is different. So I have been told. They see the stones as their grandfathers, which is to say their represent their grandfathers and their ancestors. If you wanted to equate this to a really ancient teaching biblically… It would be called an altar of remembrance. I actually choose to think of them in that frame. Especially considering the other things that I have found over the years. Some of them are ceremonial enclosures for specific events and others are there for a person to go anytime and pray or meditate to be at one with the creator and what is around them. These truly are sacred places and I can speak from experience beyond any shadow of a doubt that there are certain times of the year that these places are for healing. This is why it’s so important to preserve them and not let them be destroyed. I’m fighting a battle right now to protect a place like this down in the Carolinas of all places. I think people would be very surprised to know how extensive these locations are. There is a spring running through the middle of the site I found as well. All year round. Also, very wet during the summer months then it goes dry and then it gets wet again. Not far from my site is another place where the solstices and equinoxes can be observed and are aligned with boulders and marks there. You should also keep your eyes open for special trees because I saw several in your video. That is a very sacred thing and a lot of the indigenous people simply will not talk about it because it is another sacred thing.

In case you didn’t know the large dead tree at 2:10 and tall forked tree at 3:40 are Native American marker trees. It looks like they’re at least 200 to 300 years old if not older. It also looks like there is a modified tree at 23 :28 at the end of the stat stone feature. The U shaped feature It’s called a prayer seat. It’s where a medicine person would sit and pray, meditate, or seek a vision or guidance from the creator or a Spirit.

It’s called a hedgerow, sometimes settlers in the past pick up rocks to make farming land to grow food. All the rocks were made into fencing to keep the cows in. I don’t think they would have messed with the big rocks though.

Even Broadway (broad way) in Manhattan was originally a native road. The plagues and diseases spread through the natives so fast and with such a horrific death rate, because they had no antibodies or immunity against the diseases that were carried by the Europeans. The death rate was much higher than can ever be calculated.

@eucliduschaumeau8813 5 ай бұрын

First European settlers used mainly tree stumps and wood fences as borders. The first settlers only built stone walls after erosion in their fields from agriculture and deforestation started producing rocky soil from glacial rubble. That began in the early 1800s. Settlers likely used some of the stone walls of indigenous peoples that already existed as well.

Those look like fortifications from the french and Indian war. Common tactic was to ambush on a road and fall back into wetlands so brits would be forced out of formation and off the horses. Green Mountain Boys did the same thing in the revolution, maybe check your location against known battles?

It certainly wouldn't hurt to go over the wall line with a metal detector. What you're looking at there certainly has some age to it. I'm in N.E. NM, and we have rock walls/pens from the late 1800's, typically built by shepherds after the natives were isolated on reservations in about 1870. We still have teepee rings in some locations, and a friend found a pre-Apache exposed grave that was exhumed, recorded and re-interred by state archaeologists. There is a lot more history under our noses than is apparent.

I had no idea native Americans built stone walls; I always associated them with colonist farmers plowing fields and needing somewhere to put the rocks they dig up. Thank you for expanding my horizons! I wonder what the purpose of the walls was. It's easy to say something is "ceremonial" and not look deeper. Speculating, perhaps the walls were there to demarcate a sensitive part of the watershed from that spring. I can imagine you wouldn't want your neighbor "copping a squat" right near your source of clean water. A stone wall could be a good way to signpost that.
