New momentum to preserve mounds
A bill to formally provide federal protections to the Ocmulgee Mounds in Georgia is making progress in Congress.
If approved, the Ocmulgee Mounds National Park and Preserve Establishment Act [S.4216 | H.R.8182] would establish the state’s first National Park and Preserve overseen by the National Park Service. The land is the ancestral home of the Muscogee Creek Nation and other tribes.
The preservation momentum comes as several other locations look to better document and protect mounds. In Wisconsin, officials identified two mounds in Milwaukee’s oldest cemetery.
Join Native America Calling to get updates on recent efforts to recognize and preserve mounds.
