Untitled Mounds Film explores the history, cultural significance, and ongoing preservation efforts for Indigenous mounds in the American Midwest. Tribal knowledge keepers offer insights into the inspiration, construction and enduring importance of these earthworks for Native culture, practical life and historical education.
The film brings together Native and non-Native people who advocate for the preservation of these pre-colonial earthworks. From university professors to farmers, they share a common goal: to honor Indigenous ancestors and their shrines to the natural world; together fostering connection between the environment’s Indigenous past and its collective future.
