Alabama City Destroying Ancient Indian Mound For Sam's Club

Thursday, July 4, 2013 19:21

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

City leaders in Oxford, Ala. have approved the destruction of a 1,500-year-old Native American ceremonial mound and are using the dirt as fill for a new Sam’s Club, a retail warehouse store operated by Wal-Mart.{C}A University of Alabama archaeology report commissioned by the city found that the site was historically significant as the largest of several ancient stone and earthen mounds throughout the Choccolocco Valley. But Oxford Mayor Leon Smith — whose campaign has financial connections to firms involved in the $2.6 million no-bid project — insists the mound is not man-made and was used only to “send smoke signals.”

“The City of Oxford and its archaeological advisers have completed a review and evaluation of a stone mound that was identified near Boiling Springs, Calhoun County, Alabama, and have concluded that the mound is the result of natural phenomena and does not meet the eligibility criteria for the Natural [sic] Register of Historic Places,” according to a news release Smith issued last week.

Ever seen the exorcist? They are just asking for trouble. This is a spit in the face to every Native American living today and to the millions European-Americans butchered over the last several centuries. It’s profit and greed and ideology of cancer triumphing over dignity, history and identity. I am absolutely against this and I ighly recommend the Native American nations in Alabama and the surround states to rally around this cause and save what is left if possible. Somehow, somewhere this has got to stop. I am flabbergasted. Idle no more, rally your American connections, get those good people down there. People of Oxford, boot this Mayor of yours out of office. He is obviously not interested in whats best for you, just him. Unbelieveable, i’m furious.. -Mort
