Several Native American cultures built temple mounds, primarily the Adena and Hopewell cultures in the Eastern Woodlands, and the Mississippian culture in the Southeast. The Adena and Hopewell, active from around 1000 BCE to 500 CE, constructed various earthworks for ceremonial and burial purposes. The Mississippian culture, flourishing from around 800 CE to 1600 CE, built large, complex mounds, often topped with temples, as part of their urban centers like Cahokia. These mounds served religious, political, and social functions within their respective cultures.

Why did the Mississippian tribes build large mounds?

Some mounds were constructed around important public structures, such as temples. A temple would be built, then after a generation, destroyed and covered with earth. Some mounds were created to house burials. Some, such as the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio, are astronomical observations and are aligned with equinoxes or solstices. Some are effigy mounds, that is they are sculpted into representational forms, such as a giant bird. Mounds can be sites of elite houses, council houses, and temples and would be protected from flooding from nearby rivers.
