Prostitutes Cahokia

Cahokia reveals fascinating insights about Mississippian women. Archaeological findings, like those in Mound 72, indicate young women were part of significant founding events during the city’s Stirling phase peak (1100-1200 CE).

Women’s Societal Contributions

Recent research highlights their crucial role beyond sacrifice; women shaped Cahokia’s agriculture, cuisine, and culture through their extensive farming knowledge. This perspective shifts understanding of their contributions.

Enduring Female Legacy

The legacy of women continues in the Cahokia area today. Cahokia High School fields competitive girls’ teams in sports like volleyball, basketball, soccer, and track. Community initiatives, like the women-led Cahokia artspace, focus on creative placekeeping and Indigenous heritage. Celebrations often honor the women shaping the region.

Preserving Women’s History

Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site preserves this history, attracting visitors to learn about the ancient city where women played vital roles. Supporting CMMS helps educate people about the thousands who lived there.
