Part 10/11:
The Folsom people’s legacy continues to shape our understanding of early North American cultures. The discovery of burial sites, symbolic artifacts like ceremonial Clovis points, and the respect for cultural heritage today highlight the deep connection that these ancient peoples had not only with their environment but also with their emerging identities.
Recently, some of these sites have been treated with the utmost respect, exemplified by the reburial of Clovis remains discovered near Bozeman, Montana. The local native communities collaborated with archaeologists to ensure these individuals were honored and returned to the earth—a poignant acknowledgment of their significance.
