Hi Roger,
Another one of my good friends, thank you so much for the lovely picture of my Indian friends.


"The Huron Carol," a Christmas hymn written in the native language of the Huron Indians by a French missionary in Canada in 1643.

Hi Miguel,

This is my day for good friends to drop by.
I thought you might be interested if we had any Mounds in Pennsylvania==we did at one time.

McKees Rocks Mound, the largest mound built in Pennsylvania by Native Americans, was located about four miles south of Pittsburgh, at the confluence of Chartiers Creek and the Ohio River. Before its excavation in 1896 by Frank M. Gerrodette of the Carnegie Museum, the mound was 85 feet in diameter and 16 feet high. Today only a remnant of the original mound survives.

In the Ohio Valley, distinct cultures that rose and fell in the first millennium A.D. built massive earthen mounds for spiritual and ceremonial purposes. In the central portion of the state, other Indian peoples used the Susquehanna Valley as a highway of migration, trade, and communication between the Great Lakes and the Chesapeake Bay. In the east, Teedyuscung's forbearers in the Lehigh and Delaware Valleys mined rock quarries and traded with native peoples in coastal New England and the Hudson Valley.

That was a very interesting post Myrna.
