How do shellmound narratives drift away from evidence and become accepted as fact?
This episode explains how shellmounds are frequently misrepresented when documentation, maps, and archaeological records are selectively used or ignored. We break down how assumptions turn into stories, how repetition replaces verification, and why symbolic narratives often overshadow documented Indigenous history.
The episode clarifies why accurate interpretation of shellmound sites matters for burial protection, consultation, and respect for real tribal authority, and how misrepresentation can erase living Native communities while claiming to honor them.
Understanding these patterns helps listeners recognize why evidence, records, and accountability are essential when interpreting Indigenous sites and history.
