The Indians pushed the others out when they invaded. Who the others were is a mystery.
It is claimed that prehistoric American Indians built all of the ancient mounds that are found in North America, the oldest one being in Louisiana.

Watson Brake: The Oldest Mound Complex in North America:
Watson Brake is the oldest archaeological site in Louisiana dating from the Archaic period. It is also one of the the earliest complex construction in the Americas. The complex is made of an arrangement of human-made mounds located in the floodplain of the Ouachita River near Monroe in northern Louisiana, United States. Watson Brake consists of an oval formation of eleven mounds from three to 25 feet (7.6 m) in height, connected by ridges to form an oval nearly 900 feet (270 m) across. The analysis of 27 radiocarbon dates indicates that the site was initially occupied around 4,000 BC during the Middle Archaic period. Mound construction began at approximately 3,500 BC, and continued for approximately 500 years. (6)
However some mounds contained artifacts that definitely were not made by American Indians.

The Inscribed Stone from Grave-Creek Mound:
When the mound was opened in 1838, by Mr Tomlinson, the owner of the land, he found skeletons, adorned with plates of mica, copper rings and ivory beads, along with 'The Inscribed Stone'. Although this stone has caused much debate since its discovery, it seems that there is little debate over its existence (As it is held by the Smithsonian Institute). It is still today classified officially as an 'anomalous artefact'. A replica is on display in the local museum.
There have been numerous discoveries of inscribed Adena tablets since the Grave-Creek mound discovery, supporting the supposition that the Grave-Creek Tablets might be authentic (although there is no reference to any with script). This from Wiki: 'The Adena carved small stone tablets, usually 4 or 5 inches by 3 or 4 inches by .5 inches thick. On one or both flat sides were gracefully composed stylized zoo-morphs or curvilinear geometric designs in deep relief. Paint has been found on some Adena tablets, leading archaeologists to propose that these stone tablets were probably used to stamp designs on cloth or animal hides, or onto their own bodies. Its possible they were used to outline designs for tattooing. (1)

Here's more information about ancient scructures built in North America by unknown people.

The Mysterious Megaliths of New England
By Paul Tudor Angel

Photo: Burnt Hill Site-Western Massachusetts, by Colgate Gilbert
Located in the heart of modern-day New England stand sites of such great antiquity; sites so enigmatic, so sophisticated and seemingly inexplicable, serious scientists and archaeologists have denied their study because of their monumental implications: It would force them to throw away their pre-conceived notions about the achievements of ancient man into the historical garbage can.
Mystery Hill, the Upton Cave, Calendar I and Calendar II, Gungywamp and Druid’s Hill are just several of the names given some incredibly important historical sites of which many have never heard a whisper.
But their existence—and their importance—is becoming harder and harder to hide as more are discovered and interested folk become exposed to their grandeur.
Sometime in the late 1600s or early 1700s, early American colonists began discovering and utilizing underground "root cellars" made of large, but manageable pieces of dressed stone as storage houses for food stuffs.
Colonists were also finding numerous stone buildings, usually of "one story, circular or rectangular in form, and up to 30 feet in length and up to 10 feet wide and eight feet high or more." Many included roof slabs or lintels of several tons.
Many also had carefully crafted openings in their roofs which allowed a small amount of light to pass through to the interiors.
The colonial newcomers were convinced that these so-called root cellars had been constructed by the former Amerind inhabitants of the area—irregardless of the fact that their Indian neighbors showed little hint of an ability to work in large stone or the desire to do so.
Before long, the inheritors of these properties thought their own American ancestors had built these cellars—some which were eighty feet deep and lined the entire way with roughly hewn stone.
Simultaneously, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of oddly-inscribed flagstones were being found in the surrounding New England woods, carted off by farmers for use in stone walls or in larger stone structures in the settlements of the growing northeast.
The angular cuts on these stones looked much like the marks a plow makes when it strikes a submerged piece of stone—at least they looked that way to most of the simple country farmers of the day. Others believed the markings appearing in rocks all across New England were "the action of the roots of trees."
For decades nothing at all was thought of them. As any New Englander can tell you, the entire northeast is strewn with large chunks of striated stone material left from the last era of glacial recession.
But a local Puritan clergyman, Cotton Mather, was not convinced. In 1712 he discovered some strange incisions on an exposed seaside rockface in Dighton, Massachusetts—far from where any plow could have marked it. Winter ice and constant submergence at high tide under the Taunton River began obliterating some of the older markings and Mather was concerned the inscriptions would be lost for posterity.
He immediately wrote to the Royal Society in London, England, to inform them of his find and to convey his belief that the rock carvings were in fact an ancient scriptural alphabet—perhaps several differing ancient alphabets.
Unexpectedly, his letter generated little interest. The scientists of the Royal Society were already busy exploring newly discovered rock inscriptions in neighboring Ireland.
These European inscriptions were later identified as Irish Hinge Ogam, a form of Gaelic Keltic writing unknown for centuries and stubbornly undecipherable.
It is referred to as "hinge" Ogam because a central dividing line or a facet edge was used to separate the subtly different individual characters. Little did anyone know at the time, the inscriptions found on both sides of the Atlantic were firmly connected.
Yet how could Celtic writing, a style reminiscent of that from the first millennium B.C., be in America? Who were the authors of the many rock engravings? How could the carvers possibly have gotten to America a thousand years before the birth of Christ?

Maybe your ancestors should have fought harder and smarter? Staying divided by tribes and resisting technology was just fricking stupid. People that stupid get what they deserve.

The very essence of not only human life, but also practically all animals is survival of the fittest...territorial tribalism has always been about one thing, control of who gets to do the breeding...and one small item about Mexico...I not only traveled all over the country, I lived all over the country...Mazatlan, San Miguel, Zwa, Puerto Escondito, Puerto Vallarta, de las Casas,etc...I studied some history while in Guatemala and learned that Mexico stole Chiapas from Guatemala...just a little tidbit...

There is also the Regional Continuity Model theory.

The book Forbidden Archeology by Cremo was an interesting book about what's being hidden from the public...

I can't speak for the MEX but you racist bastards KILLED many of my IDIANS forefathers, stole our land and put what remained our tribes on a few of the most useless acres of property that is on this continent.
Killing people is your racist past my good friend.
Survival of the fittest bro. It's nature.

No but I've done a lot of reading about ancient mysteries.
There is even a prehistoric wall in Berkeley, California that was built by unknown people.
Even the local Indian tribes said it was always there and that they didn't know who built it.

I am still trying to figure out how the noble Plains Indians got around before the Spanish lost some horses because there weren't any horses in NA before then.

They sure as hell didn't invent the bicycle in order to get around.
