We were so fortunate to have a gorgeous day for our field trip to
Cahokia Mounds! We learned about the Mississippian people who lived in

highly developed culture. This goes against what Europeans believed
when they first encountered Native Americans in the New World. We will
be exploring this further in our social studies work. Here's a glimpse
of what we experienced today:
