  • While visiting my brother in Venice Florida, he took me to visit a historical archeological site. I believe it is Florida State owned property (per Google Earth), and is a well-known American Indian burial ground. A large area has recently been looted, apparently in broad daylight, and witnessed by many people walking near the beach.

    And a man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, “We do not like to see you so sad, ask of us whatever you wish and you shall have it.” The man said, “I want to have good sight.” The vulture replied, “You shall have mine.” The man said, “I want to be strong.” The jaguar said, “You shall be strong like me.” Then the man said “I long to know the secrets of the earth.” The serpent replied, “I will show them to you.” And so it went with all the animals. And when man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals “now the man knows much and is able to do many things, suddenly I am afraid.” The deer said, “The man has all that he needs; now the sadness will stop.” But the owl replied, “No I saw a hole in the man, deep like a hunger he will never fill, it is. What makes him sad and makes him want.” “He will go on taking until one day the world will say, “I am no more and I have nothing left to give.”

I was watching a vid from July 2018 of exploring with Josh and his friend from Exploring w/Fighters (UK crew) had taken a sword on a previous trip to a cave in the Islands and he had Nothing but Bad Things Happen to him, so as it should be, he rightfully returned it to the cave whence it came, with good intentions and a heartfelt declaration that he would never repeat an act such as that again. This incident shook his world. It changed that young man's outlook on what "Respect for those that have come before" is, altering forever his view of life itself. I give him respect for that.

The Seminole nation emerged in a process of ethnogenesis out of groups of Native Americans, most significantly Creek from what are now northern Muscogee.
      During their early decades, the Seminole became increasingly independent of other Creek groups and established their own identity. they didnt come from alabama.

    That is just heartbreaking. Unfortunately, it happens a lot. My son majored in geo-science in college and his area of concentration was archaeology. He became involved in a project to identify and classify bits and pieces of materials found in mounds that were once privately owned. Most of the bits were small pieces of bone that had once been in burial mounds. The project was winding up when he graduated and the remains were turned over to a group of Native Americans to re-bury them. The state of Kentucky now owns the land and oversees and maintains the area The Native Americans held a private ceremony and my son was thrilled to receive an invitation. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend. A lot of people see dollar signs when they find out about mounds, caves, overhangs and such and have no respect whatsoever for an important part of history and the final resting places of our first settlers. Disgusting!.

    Beau, I lived in Venice from 1989 to 2005. I dove the coast for fossils and megalodon teeth. (Peace River too.) The place you're walking is not a burial ground. That area is all dredge material from the intracoastral waterway which almost makes it an "island' at Caspersen Beach. The dredge ground you're walking on in the video is fossil formations dating back to the Miocene from the bottom of the intracostal waterway dredged back in the 50's. The holes you see are from people digging and sifting for fossil shark teeth. Until the early 2000's, fossil digging back there was never an issue and I dug all over there for 10 years or more and only found fossil shark teeth. There was never a trace of any indian remains found by myself, nor any of the many of my friend fossil collectors who also explored there. The reason that it's referred as an 'Indian Burial Ground' is because of the folks not filling in their holes and Sarasota County police patrolling in that area on 4 wheelers would have problems not seeing the holes in time to avoid a spill. They patrolled that area not due to the fossil collectors, but because of the area also being a hangout for gay men to do all kinds of things in broad daylight. I remember walking through some brush and witnessing an example quite unexpectedly and moving quickly along. I write on a site and I mention dredge collecting in the catagory 'The Fossil Years' on 1780farmhouse.com. I first dug one of several waterway dredge fields back in 1984, I knew all of the places there. That is not an indian burial ground. That's the excuse used to keep fossil collectors out due to the holes. The black hardened sand you held was chipped coming through the dredge pipe. The tribe in the Venice area were Calusa, about 2000 years ago. Offshore, I have found megalodon teeth formed into spearpoints and their pottery.

  • @curghost
    @curghost Před 8 lety +16

    I have lived in that area in my younger years, that area was well know for megladon teeth. many a times you would see people carry buckets of shark teeth from that area. I have never seen any one carry anything native american from that site. In fact if you did find some thing from a burial there, you would have been forced to leave it. But no one ever found anything there American Indian wise that i know of. But if you really want to know what was in those holes, go up and down main street Venice and look at all the stuff for sale in the shops. BTW, the Indian Burial Ground so to speak, was made that by the city to try to stop people from digging for teeth and shells. The main fact is,they didn't cover their holes like a treasure hunter is suppose to. That is not a site for an Indian Burial Ground, nor is it a site for a village. If it was or is, where is the proof? I have asked that many a time as a child, young adult and now as an adult an no one has come up with proof that it was either. I am not defending these people who have no morals and will dig at a known burial site, but most of us Floridians know it is not what the city wants you to believe it is. no one has come forward with any artifacts of American Indian burial or village from that part/area of the coast line. And just to make matters a little more interesting, how do so many people still dig in that area every day and not get in trouble? If you are gonna be upset over vandalizing a burial site, make sure it is a real one, because if that was a real one, there would be a lot of people in jail for it. go visit one of our local museums, you will see artifacts, pictures, times and so on. All known burial sites in Florida are protected, quit believing the lie people. Quit being pigs, cover your holes back up, carry out your trash, leave nothing but footprints, and if you do find something native, check with the locals in the area before you remove it. You might be removing a part of my history.

    i grew up on and still own and live on about 5000 acres in Texas adjacent to Ft Hood..we have a beautiful creek running through the middle and there was obviously A LOT of indian activity here a century ago. It is 5000 acres so is pretty big but there are 2 separate mounds about 100 yards from the creek that i have found pottery pieces around without digging. One time i was exploring through the creek and noticed a small hole in the stone creek wall..i reached in and found a small rock that had been hand painted..it was in the wall and away from the elements so there is no telling how long it had been there..the land has been in my family since the 50s so would have to be longer than that. Anyway i would never dig at the mounds and as long as i am here it wont happen.

    @Cyberbronco Před 8 lety +24

    I grew up in this area. It's not really an Indian burial ground behind casperson beach. The diggers are looking for fossils, and some amazing finds have been recovered there. The sign that was removed, sited a law that disturbing and digging and removing anything from a Florida State Park is a punishable offense. The law includes language referring to disturbing burial grounds but that beach didn't have a burial mound. In the 1980's a young boy was injured while digging a deep trench there, while searching for fossils and it caved in on him. That's when the signs went up. You were walking on loose sand brought in from a beach renourishing project half a century ago. That's why there is no significant tree growth around you there. Best fossils are out an 1/8 th of a mile off that beach.

    Some of the old Native Americans were buried with their stuffe like pipes or ornaments. Such old stuff are on big demands. Some of the graves are very very old and an artificat which could be thousands of years old has big price. These graves were not just digged for some small catch they were digged for something really big. ONE LUCKY find means life time earning. So that is why the people who dugged them did not care. The USA government showed have enclosed this area long time ago.

      You all don’t know much about genetics do you? Even a full blooded native can look almost white. It all depends on genetics if you look like one parent or the others heritage. I’ve seen half white half native people I went to school with. She was white white and went to the tanning bed. The only way you’d know she was a native is her bluish black hair and her eyes. Girl was gorgous but you can skip out on genetic lottery. A lot of people have native blood and don’t even know it. It’s just like black people all claiming they descend from slaves when most of the black who immigrating to the US never had one relative as a slave but still claims it with no proof. You can’t proof that type of stuff unless you get your genetics analyzed and know your family tree. My great great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee and one cousin who has not connection to her claims that heritage and even stole money from the fund to go to college on. They didn’t make her do any tests at all. This grandmother was on a side of the family that’s my side but if you were to argue with some idiot Miller’s in Kentucky about it they’d say no that was their grandmother not mine when I actually had the blood lines verified by genetics and thru a ancestors specialist. A lot of people claim something they aren’t and steal things from land where Natives Americans used to frequent with no regard to other people. Native American won’t get what is their back unless they start fighting for it. The blacks are doing it and winning so why can they?

A week later he remembered my truck and pulled me over on the highway and thanked me. They caught the car thieves that Tuesday night. ain't hard to catch thieves.

And that's not even too begin on the extreme lack of respect and greediness these people exhibit. Thanks for bringing to our notice. Education and methods of policing these areas are sorely needed..

    I saw this when you originally posted it, but it had the same effect on me this time. : (
    Beau, Thank You for exposing this again. How can they not care enough to protect that area? (Putting a tall barrier around it would make it harder for the looters).
    The Tribal Leaders need to get their heads together with the local city and state politicians, in order to make any kind of progress to protect this Indian burial sight and the tortoises, which were a common symbol of many tribes. As we all know, the Casinos are big money makers. Surely there is enough money to invest a small portion for signs, bordering and enforcing the protection of the resting place of the Great Indigenous Peoples that came before. It could be a place to bring school children on field trips and tourists to visit, free or for a small, set fee to cover the costs incurred.
    With all my Heart, I want this video to be seen, acknowledged and Action taken by the aforementioned people and anyone else that cares to make a Huge difference and be an Inspiring Example of Respect and Responsibility.

If you ever go back there please do me a favor, pray for just a second for me, for them. I look up to you in the same way I look up to John Denver. You both have inspired me to explore my local wooded areas and to connect with nature more. I recently started researching pagan religion, and realized what it actually is. So, I wanted to know how you're views on it? In you're spare time I think it would be a good subject to read up on, so you can tell if you've run across a pagan or satanic ritual while you're exploring in the woods.( you never know what you'll find in the woods) I suggest this because I want you to be safe.

I have property here in the California desert and not too far away is a cemetery with graves that have been there since the 1880s up to the the 1940s we've personally caught people digging at night in the relatively modern cemetery and had to hold him until the police came and it just breaks my heart to see that but anyway I love your channel and all your videos so keep up the good work.

    I told her where I thought it was. She said to me that she knew some of the people buried there and made me promise to never dig there. Or anyplace that was sacred. To this day I honor that promise and always will. I so enjoyed the summer days when she would tell me the history and her life as a child in our area. Eventually I learned to drive and noticed Girls. Not in that order but the two things drew me away from chats with this living history book I knew. What a shame. But I will take with gratitude what I got. And always keep that promise. Rest well Miss McCormick I will never tell where it is.

    I went on a dig in a pre-Columbian village which is NOT a burial ground. We were allowed in before the graders and diggers came to build a sub division. It was simply full of artifacts, art, tools and information that will be lost forever. I almost love the fact that now, 30 years later the place is getting swallowed up by sink holes. More than likely the value of lost artifacts and art would exceed the value of the sub-division.

Right after they dug it there was things starting to happen to them. Strange things. With in six months all three of these men were dead from weird happenings. Don't remember the details for each. After the first mans death one of the other guys said to his friend "I think we got into a bad one".
    I bought part of a collection of artifacts and among them was a small frame that had shell beads from a child's grave. It had come from a museum and told about it on the back of the frame. Every time I walked past this frame I would get a funny different feeling. I knew a man that said that he was a medicine man. I gave him the frame of beads and asked him to do what was right for them. I never got the feelings after that.

    Agree, it's very sick.
