Burial Mounds

Burial of the deceased if I am correct Big H. There is one about 20 miles south of us close to Kemper County.

I think someone even said they were used for flood control

It was a ceremonial thing. The big shots could stand above all the other injuns when they had a get together. That's what the ones in Moundville, AL were for anyway.

Heres the one south of us.http://www.echospace.org/asset_image...5-09_large.jpg

some guy told me they got on top of the mounds when ever a big rain was coming woman and children first

Its called the Nanih Waiya Mound.

A somewhat well known and large one up this way was for burial.
