Indian Mounds Regional Park

[@kcvids816]

The sign reads.. THIS IS A BURIAL PLACE OUR ANCESTORS ARE STILL HERE You are in a cemetery. It is a sacred burial ground that has been here for thousands of years. The sacred land continues beyond this location spanning the bluffs along the rivers, and throughout the region. Minisota (Mnisota) is Dakota homeland, to which Dakota people have always been connected. While its boundaries are not precisely defined, the significant area extends beyond the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. Settlers desecrated the mounds through plowing, road construction, recreational use, vandalism, greed, and archeology. Though most of the mounds are no longer visible, their ancestor's remains are still here. Living Dakota, Ho-Chunk, and Ioway people continue to visit to honor and respect their diseased ancestors. Dakota language has been translated by Dakhóta iápi Okhódakichiye (DIO) in the Standard Dakota/Lakota Orthography (SDO/SLO). 00:00 Indian Mounds Regional Park 01:38 Downtown St. Paul, Minnesota 2:30 Minnesota State Capitol

[@kcvids816]

Hey Fred! Thanks for taking the time man I really appreciate that. Yep, drove right by U.S. Bank Stadium 😁. That's one thing I've really enjoyed about traveling is seeing the stadiums of different football teams. This summer I went through Wisconsin and stopped by Lambeau Field. Didn't get to see the stadium itself (you have to take a tour) but went through the pro shop and it was really nice. Cheese heads everywhere 🧀 lol. Hope your 49ers bounce back. They are my 2nd favorite team at the moment thanks to Kittle and Brock. Have a great weekend! 🏈

This is serendipity, I watched a goofy sci-fi movie last evening, and a Native American burial ground was the center of the movie.

[@kcvids816]

What's it called? Sounds like my kind of movie lol🍿

[@BigGaz1953]

I got the transverse from sacred mounds to city skyscape mate.

[@kcvids816]

That’s pretty cool I hadn’t thought of it that way. From old civilization to the new.
