Spirits in the Heart - Indian Mound Park Sheboygan, Wisconsin
The Sheboygan Indian Mound Park, a natural and historic resource, is the sacred burial ground of our Native Americans who built the effigy mounds on this site over 1000 years ago. By means of an Effigy Mound Trail and a Nature Trail we have projected yet another aspect-another reason why this site must be preserved. It is an ideal setting to stimulate interest in further study of our great heritage, which is both natural and cultural, in the hope that a land ethic, “that man is part of, not apart from, nature,” might be implanted.
All of us are fortunate to have such a beautiful woodland park where the effigy mounds themselves are proof of a man-nature relationship. We are fortunate that the people in the past preserved the area for us. Let it be the wish of all of us to perpetuate it for the people of the future. The Sheboygan Indian Mound Park is a sacred place. We who live here now should so honor it.

Man Mound Park - Baraboo, Wisconsin
On Saturday, August 9, 2008, the Man Mound Archeological Site was rededicated by the organizations that were responsible for its preservation: the Sauk County Historical Society, the Wisconsin Archaeological Society and the Wisconsin Federation of Women's Clubs.
Only one effigy mound in the shape of a human being has survived nearly intact. It is located near the base of a high hill in Man Mound County Park, to the northeast of Baraboo. Probably built more than 1,000 years ago, this huge mound is in the form of a walking man who has horns or is wearing a horned headdress, such as a buffalo-horn headdress, which is characteristically worn by Native American shamans in more recent times.

Around 500 B.C., EFFIGY MOUNDS of various shapes and sizes began to dot the landscape of Wisconsin and several surrounding Midwestern states.
The people who built these mounds remain mysterious.
Known only as the Mound Builders, it’s now largely accepted that they are the ancestors of present day Native American tribes such as the Potawatomi or Winnebago, but long ago this wasn’t the case. Since the native population had forgotten both the purpose of the mounds as well as the identity of their architects by the time European settlers arrived, early European Americans began to theorize that a Lost Race was been responsible. Dubious theories regarding these people’s identities ranged from the lost tribe of Israel to refugees from Atlantis.
While it is exceedingly unlikely that Atlanteans or Israelis built these mounds, they are wondrous. Many mounds are simple linear and conical shapes, while others resemble birds, turtles, or large cats. Some of the mounds were used for burial, while others severed a purpose that is yet unclear. The most intriguing of all these earthworks are known as “the man mounds,” the majority of which were located in southwestern Wisconsin, in what is modern-day Richland, Dane, and Sauk Counties. Five out of seven of these huge mounds resembled men with huge horns protruding from their head.
Nearly all of these amazing manlike earthworks have been destroyed, with the most notable exception being a particularly huge formation in Man Mound County Park in Sauk County. Before its lower legs were destroyed by road construction at the dawn of the twentieth century, it was 218 feet in length.
It’s generally accepted that these works could represent effigies of shamans, who in more modern times often wore bison headdresses, or a Winnebago hero-god named Red Horn who was sent to earth to battle giants and evil spirits. All are highly plausible theories, but since we neither know if the Mound Builders wore bison headdresses or if they knew the tale of Red Horn, the man mounds remain a fascinating mystery.For more information on the history of Man Mound County Park visit SaukCountyHistory.org.

Save The Mounds #13 Inside the Wisconsin State Capital
On January 12th, 2016 tribes from Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region rallied in Madison, Wisconsin in opposition to a proposed Republican Bill that would eliminate protection over Indian burials, ancient artworks and effigy mounds if they did not contain human remains. It would be up the tribe, organizations or individuals seeking protection of a burial mound or cemetery who would be responsible for the expense and efforts to prove that there are human remains thru excavation or other means in order for the mound, cemetery or earthwork to be cataloged and protected by state law. Otherwise, the private landowner would be able to destroy or develop the mound or burial grounds.
