Oh my goodness....my son & nephew go deer hunting in Chillicothe every year! I don't know 'where' they go, but I wonder if it's anywhere near this place?....If it is & I tell my son, he'll never go back! LOL BTW, we live in Tennessee, so they drive a good 8-9 hours to get there....go figure! => (apparently the deer here in Tn. aren't as BIG as they are in Ohio! lol) Love the video!......

These are Choctaw Indians which signed the Choctaw Friendship Treaty of 1786 at Hopewell.

@Choctawu NUCCA PLEASE I WENT TO YOUR SITE

@Choctawu Can you tell us anything about Native American burial rituals? So many areas in the Midwest have these historic sites.

[Choctawu]

@duckman531 Well I can only speak on the Choctaws, other Nation tribes have their own rituals. Ok, our ancient burial rituals required the wrapping of the body using preservatives, oils and herbs. The body would be left out in the to be certain the spirit returns to the trees.
