Where are the adena people now?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Adena is the modern name given to a particular culture of native Americans - we can never know the tribal names they used. The culture flourished between 1,000 and 200 BC, mainly in the areas that later became Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

Adena culture is characterised by hunting, gathering and fishing, with some early attempts at growing pumpkin, squash, sunflowers and amaranths (but not, apparently, maize). They produced pottery and used stone for weapons and tools.

Answer 3

They lived in villages containing circular houses made of poles and bark.

Answer 4

They are dead. They have been dead for a long time.
