Native American There are many different Native American cultures. One of them is the mound builders or the Anazi. The mound builders began settling about 2,700 years ago. They got their name because they built mounds that were in many different shapes. Archaeologists have found many weird artifacts, like stone pipes, copper tools and mirrors that were made of mineral mica. Archaeologists also know that some mounds were made for religious ceremonies, not just burial sites. The Adenas were also mound building people who settled in modern day Ohio and West Virginia. They were hunters and gatherers rather than farmers. Game and wild plants were what they fed on. They built permanent houses near the one location. The Hopewell mound builders lived in many locations such as Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, present day West Virginia, Wisconsin and Michigan, The high point of their culter was between 2,100 and 1,500 years ago.
