About NC Native Lands
Our Mission
Mapping Native American mounds in North Carolina is crucial for understanding the rich history and heritage of indigenous peoples in the region. These mounds often served as ceremonial sites, burial grounds, or village locations. By mapping them, historians, tribal groups, and archaeologists can learn more about the lives, cultures, and social structures of the Native American tribes that inhabited the area. Additionally, mapping helps to preserve these valuable historical sites and protect them from development or damage.
