Ohio Historical Connection (Society) Event at Mound City Contradicts Thier Own Politically Correctness
This last year the Winter Solstice lighting of the Serpent Mound was canceled because of some apparent Political Incorrectness of the event. Shawnee representatives complained even though they have no association with the Serpent Mound since the OHS dating of the earthwork has been debunked. There is evidence of Dakota Sioux in the Ohio Valley when the Serpent was constructed.
Sometime in October 2018, there is a pumpkin carving at Mound City followed by them being placed throughout the park. At 7:00, according to the NPS " illuminating the ancient monuments of the Hopewell!" Illuminating????
In an article Burt Logan CEO of OHC stated,
"Friends Group Upset About Canceled Winter Solstice Event At Serpent Mound By TANA WEINGARTNER • DEC 6, 2017
We have a responsibility to tell a story that's accurate, particularly that's representative of American Indian heritage, "We believe that once we understand what is the right thing to do, to continue doing something else is not being a very respectful steward. It's not being authentic. We want to tell the story of Serpent Mound that is most authentic to the American Indian heritage of the site."
It is apparent that snowflakes at the OHC and the OHS need to meet and decide what is Politically Correct and what is not and then maybe recede to their "safe places."
