1 answer

The Etowah Mounds are no longer actively used by Georgia's Native Americans due to several factors:

  1. Cultural Changes: European colonization led to significant cultural shifts, diminishing traditional practices.
  2. Displacement: Many Native American tribes were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands.
  3. Loss of Population: Disease and conflict reduced the population and altered traditional lifestyles.
  4. Historical Preservation: The site is now protected as an archaeological landmark, shifting its role from a cultural center to a historical site.
