flag The Osage Nation has regained control of Sugarloaf Mound, St. Louis’ oldest human-made structure, after a 17-year effort.

flag The Osage Nation has completed the reacquisition of Sugarloaf Mound in St. Louis, the city’s oldest human-made structure and last remaining Native American mound, built between A.D. 600 and 1200. flag After a 17-year effort beginning in 2008, the tribe now fully controls the site, which was part of the historic “Mound City” region and holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. flag The mound, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984, is believed to be a burial or platform mound from the Woodland or Mississippian period. flag The Osage Nation plans to stabilize the mound, remove remaining structures, and build an interpretive center to share Osage history and heritage with the public.
