Cahokia Mounds

Added on September 15, 2005. On September 13, 2005, I took another trip out to the ancient Cahokia Mounds. This is a short video I put together of the event. Beingn of Cherokee ancestry, the Cahokia mounds have a great significance to me. History (as recorded by our white conquerors) does not record this, but it is told to us by our grandmothers, that the great mound at Cahokia, known to us as "The Temple of the Sun" was once the place of central rule 1000 years ago. The ancient (and unknown) Cahokians ruled this land up into Canada and down in to Mexico, and even as far as Florida. My Cherokee ancestors who were alleged to be of the Kutani clan of the Cherokee people (the "Ani-Yvwiya"), were the religious and academic masters of the era. The rulers here in Cahokia (where I now live) sent there acolytes to the Kutani for training in priestly ways and they then returned to The Temple of the Sun and participated in the ruling of this land. And yes, I know I look more "Nordic" that Ameridian... I can't help genetics! lol!! (But, the blond hair is from the bottle; the blue eyes from the Creator).
