{"product_id":"our-hidden-landscapes","title":"Our Hidden Landscapes","description":"Challenging traditional and long-standing understandings, this volume provides an important new lens for interpreting stone structures that had previously been attributed to settler colonialism. Instead, the contributors to this volume argue that these locations are sacred Indigenous sites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume introduces readers to eastern North America's Indigenous ceremonial stone landscapes (CSLs) - sacred sites whose principal identifying characteristics are built stone structures that cluster within specific physical landscapes. \u003ci\u003eOur Hidden Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e presents these often unrecognized sites as significant cultural landscapes in need of protection and preservation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, Native American authors provide perspectives on the cultural meaning and significance of CSLs and their characteristics, while professional archaeologists and anthropologists provide a variety of approaches for better understanding, protecting, and preserving them. The chapters present overwhelming evidence in the form of oral tradition, historic documentation, ethnographies, and archaeological research that these important sites created and used by Indigenous peoples are deserving of protection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This work enables archaeologists, historians, conservationists, foresters, and members of the general public to recognize these important ritual sites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nohham Rolf Cachat-Schilling\u003cbr\u003e Robert DeFosses\u003cbr\u003e James Gage\u003cbr\u003e Mary Gage\u003cbr\u003e Doug Harris\u003cbr\u003e Julia A.
