Burial Mounds

There were once over 50 burial mounds in St. Paul before the construction of the city destroyed most of them. Seven have been preserved. There’s a large burial mound in the northern part of Minnesota. It’s said that it was once as high as a two-story building. Ignorance and greed caused it to be ransacked and partially destroyed. In some of my research, I read that over 300 bodies have been returned to their original burial place. What’s fascinating is that burial mounds can be found all over the world. Some are thirty-eight miles long, and others are built as an effigy to a muskrat, bear, or something else; this is without backhoes and tractors, folks.
