8 Giant Sioux Indians Buried in the Form of a Cross in  a Missouri  Indian Mound

The Tarleton Cross in Ohio was constructed by the Hopewell Sioux.  The Sioux occupied the Ohio Valley fior almost 2,000 years before being expelled in 535 A.D.  Mound and burial types would reemerge to the west, in what would be known as the historic  Sioux homelands

The cross was symbolic of the Sun deity for the ancient Sioux Hopewell mound builders.

8 Giant Skeletons in Missouri Mound; Light on Past May Be Shed
   Springfield, Dec, 27 - Discovery of eight giant human skeletons arranged in four layers so tha each pair formed a cross, in a shallow Indian mound near here apparently sheds new light on the religious customs of prehistoric tribes who once inhabited the Ozarks,
     Rev. S.P.Newberry, Springeild archaeologists believed it highly probable that the crosses formed by the skeletons were of religious significance.
     "The Indian cross," he explained, "has always indicated a place of worship,  In this particular case it seems particular a reasonable supposition that the eight skeletons were those of the high priests of some cult and their attendants.
   It was the custom of some tribes to sacrifice a priest's attendants when the priest died, and to bury them with him. In the crook of an arm of one of the skeletons was found an ancient stone sacrificial bowl, with markings which were exactly like four strange idols recently discovered by Mr. Newberry in the Coleman cavern north of Springfield.

New Orleans, La., December 8, 1900. 

"The fossils of three human beings evidently prehistoric giants, were found near Monteseno, Mo., the other day by C. H. Beehler, a farmer, at the depth of forty feet. The size of the skulls indicates that the bodies must have been at least ten feet high and the bones, resembling those of a human skeleton, seem to bear out this theory. Beehler has quite a collection of fossil relics which he has found at various times in this vicinity which is alive with them. He is confident that he has discovered the missing link and intends to submit his find to the professors of Washington University in St. Louis to see if they sustain his theory. Fossils of mastodons and animals extinct for centuries have been found in this vicinity by people who were plowing or digging wells. It seems to be a regular graveyard for 40 miles around for prehistoric bones which indicate the enormous size of the animals which once roamed the land."

A Giant Race-The Indian Mound Chickasawba-Human Skeletons Eight and Ten Feet in Height

Relics of a Former Race"Two miles west of Barfield Point, in Arkansas county, Ark., on the east bank of the lovely stream called Pemiscot river, stands an Indian mound, some twenty-five feet high and about an acre in area at the top.  The mound derives its name from Chickasawba, a chief of the Shawnee tribe, who lived, died and was buried there. This chief was one of the last race of hunters who lived in that beautiful region and who once peopled it quite thickly...

Aunt Kitty Williams, who now resides there, relates that Chickasawba would frequentlybring in for sale at one time as much as twenty gallons of pure honey in deerskins bags slung to his back. He was always a friend to the whites, a man of gigantic stature and herculean strength...He was buried at the foot of the mound on which he had lived, by his tribe, most of whom departed for the Nation immediately after performing his funeral rites...

Chickasawba was perfectly honest and the best informed chief of his tribe....A number of years ago, making an excavation into or near the foot of Chickasawba's mound, a portion of a Gigantic human skeleton was found. The men who were digging, becoming interested, unearthed the entire skeleton and from measurements given us by reliable parties the frame of the man towhom it belonged could not have been less than eight or nine feet in height. Under the skull, which slipped easily over the head of our informant (who, we will here state, is one of our best citizens), was found a peculiarly shaped earthen jar, resembling nothing in the way of Indian pottery which has before been seen by them. It was exactly the shape of the round-bodied, long necked carafes or water-decanters, a specimen of which may be seen on Gaston's dining table.
