The Indian Village Site is an archaeological site near Sutherland, Iowa.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964. The National Park Service then noted:
This small Mill Creek Indian culture village is unique because it has been little disturbed since its occupation. It contained about 20 dwellings surrounded by a palisade and ditch. It dates from ca. A.D. 1000-1300. The inhabitants were semisedentary, and followed an agricultural/hunting subsistence pattern. The site is not open to the public.Famous quotes containing the words indian, village and/or site:
“There was so much of the Indian accent resounding through his English, so much of the “bow-arrow tang” as my neighbor calls it.... It was a wild and refreshing sound, like that of the wind among the pines, or the booming of the surf on the shore.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Zhivago: It seems you bombed the wrong village.
Strelnikov: They always say that. And what does it matter? A village betrays us, a village is burned. The point made.
Zhivago: Your point. Their village.”
—Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
