The Adena came first then the Hopewell came after.
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.
Archaeologists estimate the mound was built between 250 and 150 BCE by the Adena culture.
The first people to visit North America were the Indians, or indigenous people, or first nations, as they are variously called.
The first settlers to arrive at Plymouth were looking for a place where they could preserve their culture and worship freely.
the first Europeans came in 1497
The Mound Builders who were Adena and Hopewell and Mississippian.
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.
Paleo-Indians were the first followed by the Adena and Hopewell cultures.

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.
Indians
The accomplishment that the Hopewell Indians were most known for was their massive burial mounds. They were also among the first fully committed agriculturalists, and they had established trade routes to the Gulf of Mexico, Rocky Mountains, and Atlantic Ocean.
