| Cahokia Mounds is the premier American Indian center in eastern North America. Within its five-square-mile area were built more than one hundred earthen mounds, including Monks Mound, the largest in the New World. Today the state of Illinois maintains nearly two thousand acres of this site as the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site. Also designated a National Historic Landmark and a United Nations World Heritage Site, Cahokia is truly an American and world treasure that needs to be protected and preserved for future generations. |
