Ocmulgee National Monument tells the story of one of the greatest city-states of the Mississippian culture, and the mounds Native Americans constructed for their elite. This park is a memorial to the relationship between people and natural resources. Native Americans first came here during the Paleo-Indian period hunting ice age mammals.
