Mound Builders Argument Links Minnesota Sioux to Builders
J V Brower of St Paul presented evidence before the Minnesota Historical Society asserting that Minnesota mound builders were the old full blooded Sioux. He traced tribes to ancient villages, showed mounds on newly quarried soils, and cited artifacts from village sites. He argued Sioux people used stone implements and bones, and that mound building and burial practices extended to Mille Lacs and surrounding areas.
