Question: The American Indian population in Wisconsin dates back centuries. Their presence in this state predates Wisconsin statehood and the majority of the population who came during that time. Evidence suggests that the early peoples of Wisconsin arrived about 10,000 years ago. Archeologists have found many clues of the past lives of the Native peoples in this region through excavation of sites all across the state. Effigy mounds, mounds in the shape of animals, have been found as burial sites for the early Wisconsin inhabitants. Mississippian culture was also a significant era in the history of the early populations in Wisconsin over 1,000 years ago. In Wisconsin, these people are called Oneota.
