At the Hopewell Mound Group in Chillicothe, Ohio, the land carries the stories of the Indigenous ancestors who shaped it. Built 2,000 years ago—long before the founding of the United States—the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks stand as a testament to the ingenuity of the ancestors of many present-day tribes. But what do we truly know about the people who built them and why? Logan York, a citizen of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, journeys to Chillicothe to explore these questions. Through conversations with archaeologists Bret Ruby, PhD, and Bradley Lepper, PhD, and interviews with Tribal representatives and scholars, Logan uncovers the cultural significance and enduring relevance of these sites—honoring those who lived, gathered, and built here generations ago.
