Iirc, the Indian Mounds and other mounds around the south were not sacred or religious to the tribes of the area. They were culturally significant and mainly used as meeting places and landmarks, not some temple or worshipping grounds.

Bunch of drama queens at the Reveille. Glad to see nothing has changed there in 30 years.

Communication disorders senior Shea Ferguson, an active member of NASO and the Delaware tribe of Oklahoma, was appalled but not surprised by the viral video, remarking, “It shows how uninformed the community is about the mounds. They are important and fragile.”
So, 6,000 years old, but also fragile.
Makes good sense.

That video is great. Just a bunch of people having a good time.

If you’re dumb enough to bury your ancestors in the middle of the biggest party school in the South, you get what you get.

You know those little native kids were sliding down the mounds on animal hides too.

Fark idea. Beavis and Butthead wearing a headdress in front of the Indian Mounds.
"Uhhh...huh huh huh. They look like knockers."
Why do we assume that the natives of the area didn't have a sense of humor. There are two things that all societies have in some form of art. Penises and Boobs.

Actually, it hasn’t always been an issue. My kids slid down those damn things for hours in the 90’s on those fall Saturdays. Not a word was said, and there wasn’t a fence to be seen.
My guess is that someone got hurt and the fear of litigation led to the fencing (not “indigenous people” being buried there.
Besides, wasn’t there a study that determined they were made by the river eons ago?

As someone who is 1/18th native American, I approve of sledding down the mounds.
I’m 1/16th Native American or Indian and I don’t give a rats arse which one you call me or whether or not anyone slides down the Indian mounds at LSU.
