Caddo Mounds

On a very windy day in November we visited the Caddo Mounds. We learned that more than 1200 years ago a group of Caddo Indians built a village and three mounds around their village. We learned about the purpose of the mounds and about the everyday life of these ancient Indians.

An short but very interesting documentary about the Caddo Indians, the historic site, archaeological work done at the site, and Caddo culture nowadays. 

A Caddo bow came up to Andrew's chin.

Caddos traded with other Indian tribes near and far. The trade routs were used later by the Spanish.
