The dead were buried with artifacts, indicating a religious tradition. The mounds built by the Hopewell culture were built in a distinctive fashion, burying the deceased's ashes; the Dakota Indians later used the same site to bury their dead, wrapping the bodies in animal skins.<br>

Dakota peoples lived near the site of the Mounds. Just below the mounds was a large cave at the base of the bluff.
