I didn’t know the American indians used copper. Any idea which tribes and what it was for?

The native copper came from up around Lake Superior I believe and was exported down the Mississippi river. The use as I recall was mostly ornamental.

In Chaco Canyon New Mexico and other anacazi sites, copper bells originating in Mexico were found.

There was a workshop at Cahokia that worked copper. That was where I became aware of the fact

At the zenith, Cahokia was larger than London.
