    Put together very well. Very informative. Thank you for posting.

    Having grown up on the Eastern edge of Springfield, there was a strong Native American influence on some of the families who settled and developed that beautiful region. Many of those farms have become homes for affluent professionals and business owners operating in Springfield. Those creeks may still have arrowheads and relics scattered around, but I imagine it's been picked over quite well. The Indian heritage was mostly hidden and fueled an underlying resentment and shame that I always felt was a pity, but that's the way things were.

    The beautiful Ozarks of Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas.

    Yep, we're just a bunch of high ditches...I grew up 40 miles from Poplar Bluff near Grandin.

    There are no Indian reservations or native American culture in the Ozarks, you have to go further west to find that.
