Where are the adena people now?
The Adena Indians, also called the Woodland Indians, were the first of three mound building cultures (the other ones were the Hopewell and Mississippian Indians). The Adena Indians lived around 2,000 to 2,500 years ago. The Hopewell flourished for about 500 years, around 300 BC. Last but certaintly not least, the Mississippians lived from around 800 to 1500 AD.

What did the adena Indian tribe use the mounds for?
The Adena were not actually a tribe, but what archaeologists call a "tradition." This means that there were certain cultural traits that were prevalent in a geographic region at a certain time. The Adena tradition lasted from roughly 1000 B.C. to A.D.1-200 (depending on area) in the Ohio Valley and beyond. In some areas, such as the Hocking River Valley of Southeast Ohio, the Adena tradition persisted through the time of the Hopewell tradition to extend to the later dates. The mounds that were created by the Adena were ceremonial burial mounds. From what can be gathered from archaeological evidence, some bodies (but not all) were placed in wooden huts along with ceremonial artifacts like beads, copper and flints, and the huts were then burned. Not all burials used the huts, though. Several bodies -- cremated, flexed (foetal or other cramped position) and extended (laying flat) -- are often found in the same stratigraphic layer of the mound. Often, the bodies were sprinkled with red ochre, graphite or manganese dioxide and then covered in dirt. This is the first layer of the mound. The process was repeated over many years and the mound grew in size. We can see many of these and be impressed by their size, but we must remember that erosion and human activity have decreased both the number and size of mounds.
What is the first group of Indians to build mounds probably for special ceremonies?
The Mound Builders who were Adena and Hopewell and Mississippian.
How are the Hopewell and Adena civilizations different?
Adena were there first (800 B.C. - 200 A.D.). The Hopewell culture came later but overlapped with the Adena (200 B.C. - 400/500 A.D.). Most theories hold that the two intermixed peacefully, and the Hopewell culture was an elaboration and extension of the Adena mound-building culture. Thus the Hopewell art, burial ceremonies, etc were more flamboyant than that of the earlier and more primitive Adena.

Who lived in Ohio first Hopewell Fort Ancient Shawnee or The Mound Builders?
The Mound Builders is a general term that covers several sequential cultures that built mounds. First were the Red Ochre and Glacier Kame peoples, who lived in Ohio as long ago as 8000-5000 B.C. I believe. The Adena culture was also a mound-building people, from about 800 B.C. to perhaps 100 A.D. The Hopewell people intermingled peacefully with the Adena, and continued (and elaborated upon) their moundbuilding ways; Hopewell was from 100 B.C. to about 400-500 A.D. Then, the Fort Ancient people, from around 900 A.D. up until about 1500 A.D., but their earthworks were ceremonial rather than for burials. The Shawnee are generally believed to be the descendents of the Fort Ancient, and there is some decent DNA evidence (google for Lisa Mill's dissertation at Ohio State, for example) that the Adena are descendents of the Glacier Kame and Red Ochre peoples, and the Hopewell of the Adena.
