Inscription.
"These places embody precision and beauty, containing mathematical complexities in their design and astronomical alignments to the sky. My Shawnee ancestors protected and preserved them so we can appreciate them today. The first day I visited Newark, I made a commitment to learn all I could about all of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, to teach others about them, and to preserve them."

Glenna J. Wallace
Chief of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma
