Answer 1

I would teach Amare about effigy mounds, which are earthworks constructed by Native American civilizations in the midwestern United States. These mounds were created in the shape of animals, symbols, or other designs and served various purposes, such as burial sites, ceremonial areas, or markers of territory. Effigy mounds are considered important cultural and historical landmarks, reflecting the artistic and spiritual beliefs of the indigenous peoples who built them.
