The exhibition Mounds, Moon and Stars: The Legacy of Ohio’s Magnificent Earthworks focuses on the Newark
Earthworks as representative of the flourishing Hopewell era culture and draws the curtain back on the sophisticated lives of the local people while at the same time looking at the scientific and artistic complexities of the sites.

The exhibition highlights indigenous contributions to Ohio’s cultural landscape and most importantly it serves to
amplify the voices and perspectives of vastly underrepresented but vital communities. Indigenous history is often
thought of as a thing of the past. The exhibition, however, aims to foster an environment from which audiences
can learn experientially using a self guided approach about Native American culture both past and living while
more fully appreciating the Ceremonial Earthworks themselves.
