Colonial institutions profited off the land and those who occupied it. One institution that exemplified this was the Fur Trade. Throughout the North and Northeast colonies, European nations acquired furs from a variety of mammals to meet the trans-Atlantic demand. To maximize profits in the New World many European colonizers turned to Native peoples to aid in their economic endeavors. Native Americans employed trade routes and knowledge of the land to their advantage in the new economic landscape.

  • Cincinnati and the Little Miami Valley
    CINCINNATI AND THE LIttLE MIAMI VALLEY CINCINNATI Begin your exploration of southwest Ohio from downtown Cincinnati, where the art-deco masterpiece Netherland Hotel stands at the corner of Fifth and Race Streets. Its sumptuous 1930s Arcade and Palm Court, and the newly renovated Fountain Square across the street, occupy the position of the huge, elliptical earthwork that once domi- nated this high Ohio River terrace, as recorded on Dr. Daniel Drake’s 1815 map. Indeed, Fountain Square is the symbolic heart of Cincinnati. This city grew and pros- pered in the early 1800s, on its large level ter- race, above the confluence of three rivers. Two thousand years earlier, other people were here, and also built monuments on this spot. William Henry Harrison remarked that when he first saw this level plain, in 1791: …it was literally covered in low lines of embank- 5Most of the Cincinnati earthworks had ments… The number and variety of figures in which been destroyed by the early pioneers even before Daniel Drake made his map. these lines were drawn was almost endless.

At about 6 miles, climb the hill and turn right (at the Mound Café) onto Indian Mound Avenue, where a small alley on the right between two houses encircles the tall, oval mound.
