Sugar Loaf Mound: It's Official

STLToday reports that the sale of Sugar Loaf Mound to the Osage nation is officially a done deal; though there are lots of conversations going on about how to present it as an educational/interpretive site, everyone agrees that this is a great thing for the Osage, for the city's last remaining Indian mound, and for the city itself. Here's more history from Ecology of Absence, including Andrew Weil's history of the site and links to parts one and two of Kevin Cook's documentary on St. Louis' Indian mounds. --Stefene Russell
