when we were kids, we got to go to the Cahokia sites here in Illinois through our school. Of course it was a puberty fest but I brought home a ton of memories about how the people lived before us.
We got to dig archeological sites and learned how tedious it really is to map and record everything we found. We learned how to make arrowheads from stone and braid rope from hemp, then listened to tribal members telling their stories.
It was a great time and stuff that I learned there never hit me until years later because we were busy playing poker in the dorm and video games at the local store on our off time in the little town. 6th and 7th grade so it's understandable but I sometimes wish I could go back there with a new attitude.
