Road Graders Reveal Indian Village Site Once more some old Cass County history comes to light with the grading of one of our roads in this .section of the county. While grading near the buried village three Woodland Indians were disturbed from their long rest of over fifteen hundred years. These Indians were of the Woodland tribes inhabiting Cass County, a period estimated as 1500 years ago. In this region were twenty-two house sites and two were destroyed with the gra ding. These skeletons were facing northeast so they must have passed on sometime during Ju ne, the longest days as we know them. The ones of last year were facing southeast, their pas sing was in the winter when the days are at their shortest, for they usually faced the raising sun. Their bones were buried beneath their house under the ashes so being well preserved after all these years. This village of twenty-two hou ses strung along a strip of ground about 160 rods, lying next to the Missouri River. A flood came and this village was abandoned, after a few years they returned again and built their houses and again a flood came and again they returned and built their abodes. Three times they built their lidges and three times flooded out. This village lies directly sou th of the turtle mound which was some form of worship. Man has always had something of this kind; no matter how long ago. We have here in Cass County evidence of the mound' builders practice; such as the turtle mound. The only mound in the middle west or the plains area that has had a meaning. The turtle rites were observed by the agricultural class and practiced prior to 1500. The ceremonies connected with this dispe lstorms. Cass County is rich in his tory and we are trying to pre serve our heritage with our Cass County Historical Society.
