“What they found actually offers great insight into the cultural priorities of the Shawnee – the incredible amounts of human labor that went into building the earthworks were done for agricultural purposes, not military. The earthworks were not a fort, but a water management system of dams and canals built to counter the impact of long-term drought.”

OMG!! Don’t tell the ‘modern tribes’ about this! They’re doing their best to take out anything that looks like damn.
To hear them tell it, their ‘enviro friendly’ ancestors could have never taken part in building a dam!
