The Adena culture, a prehistoric Native American culture that existed from around 1000 to 200 BC, is best known for building large burial mounds, often with conical shapes. These mounds were used to bury important members of their society and were sometimes accompanied by elaborate grave goods. The Adena people also built earthworks and ceremonial enclosures.
The Adena people built the Serpent Mound in present-day Ohio, USA. The mound is an ancient effigy mound representing a serpent and is one of the largest earthwork effigies in the world.
The Adena were a sedentary culture, meaning they lived in permanent villages rather than being nomadic. They were known for their earthen mound constructions and engaged in agriculture as well as hunting and gathering.
The Adena culture saw the establishment of permanent settlements, social organization based on increased food production, and the construction of mounds for burials and ceremonies. Additionally, the growth of agriculture allowed for surplus food production, fostering trade networks and the development of specialized crafts within Adena communities.
No, the Great Serpent Mound was not built by the Hopewell culture. It is believed to have been constructed by the Fort Ancient culture, which succeeded the Hopewell culture in the Ohio River Valley. The exact purpose of the mound is still debated, but it is thought to have had religious or ceremonial significance.
Adena tribe houses were usually circular or square shaped, built with wooden poles covered with bark or mats. They were typically small in size to accommodate one family and often had a central fireplace for warmth and cooking. The design and materials used in these houses varied depending on the location and resources available to the tribe.

the adena tribe did have a emperoer
Adena were there first (800 B.C. - 200 A.D.). The Hopewell culture came later but overlapped with the Adena (200 B.C. - 400/500 A.D.). Most theories hold that the two intermixed peacefully, and the Hopewell culture was an elaboration and extension of the Adena mound-building culture. Thus the Hopewell art, burial ceremonies, etc were more flamboyant than that of the earlier and more primitive Adena.
