Sugarloaf Mound is the oldest human-made structure in the city's limits.

The Osage Nation hopes to turn the mound into a “miniature Cahokia ,” with an interpretive center.

St. Louis was home to more than a hundred of sacred mounds built by Native peoples centuries ago.

At its height, the settlement extended more than 4,000 acres .

Kappa Psi is willing to meet with the Osage Nation to discuss the transfer of the fraternity property to the Nation.

A resolution from the St. Louis Board of Aldermen will acknowledge Osage’s sovereignty and support their quest for the remaining pieces of Sugarloaf Mound at an upcoming meeting.
