Settlement
patterns in Louisiana have a long and interesting history. Before Europeans
even considered crossing the ocean, Native Americans flourished throughout
the region. Poverty Point in northeastern Louisiana is one of the oldest
known mound sites in North America. Native Americans settled throughout the
future state of Louisiana, from the piney hill region, to the plains and
the bayous. As with most Native American history, much of the truth is shrouded
in hearsay and clouded by the perception of outsiders. Today, many Louisiana
tribes struggle to survive and be understood on their own terms. |
