He also discusses the symbolism and meaning behind the mounds, as well as their historical and cultural significance.The second part of the book focuses on animal effigies, which are sculptures or representations of animals made by Native American cultures. Peet describes the different types of effigies, including those made from stone, wood, and clay. He also discusses the symbolism and meaning behind the effigies, as well as their historical and cultural significance.Overall, Emblematic Mounds And Animal Effigies is an important contribution to the study of Native American cultures in the United States.
