Sean and I decided to get out, be active and check out Moundville Archaeological park this weekend. Weather was nice, and I think we wanted to feel nature, old and new. The park was pretty neat, we learned a lot about the tribes that inhabited the area, they are all combined to be called the Mississipians. Moundville was used over many years from all tribes around the south-(Choctaw, Cherokee, Seminole, etc). After we explored the mounds we found nature trail that led us to the Black Warrior River. We played and climbed a tree(both got a little scared) before heading back. We started talking about how we wished we lived within tribes and which tribes we would want to be in. My parents both say my grandmothers are/were 1/4 Cherokee, how neat-but I wish I could know more about what my ancestors were like..maybe I can find out! I feel like living as these guys did, depending solely on nature sounds so tempting and easy and wonderful, but I bet it would be harder to do it now that we have lived like we have for so long...
