As long as 2,500 years ago, Native Americans placed the bones of
their dead in giant mounds of earth in the shape of animals. The
Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa was created to protect one
set of these - and the bones inside. But in 2011, a new
superintendent, Jim Nepstad, discovered that the remains of 41
Native Americans had disappeared.  In this episode, we use the
term "Native American" because the story refers to legislation that
uses that term. The National Park Service now uses “American
Indian.”  This episode contains language that may not be
