Which early native American society built cliff dwellings and which build mounds?
The Ancestral Pueblo people, also known as the Anasazi, built cliff dwellings in the southwestern United States, particularly in present-day Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. The Mississippian culture, which emerged in the eastern and southeastern regions of North America, including what is now the United States, built mounds for various purposes, including ceremonial and residential uses.
Why would the Americans of the nineteenth century resist the idea that the mounds were the work of Native Americans?
The Mound Builders of the Mississippi Valley were a complex trans-national Native American cultural society that spanned from the Gulf of Mexico to the upper reaches of present day Canada. Their society centered around religion, trade, and the water ways of North America. Many Americans resisted the idea of Native American competance in creating complex societal organizations and gave credit to non-Amercian sources. Native American Competance Native American mounds were often credited to "old world" civilzations like the Greeks, Jews, Vikings, and Egyptions. Native Americans were, and often today, thought of as uncapable of intelligence thought, and savage, and thus unable to build complex societies like that of the Mound Builders. Mound Builder ancestory also creates a stronger claim to the land. Religious Explanations No mention in the Bible about the Americas and its socities before 1492 tests the intergrity of Americans religion. The Great Awakening is a response to explain Native American and it societies before 1492 often demonizing Native Americans.
