🌽🌿 Archaeologists have uncovered a massive, 1,000-year-old Native American farming system in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula that challenges long-held assumptions about Indigenous agriculture in northern, forested, and cold climates. The site, known as Sixty Islands along the Menominee River, reveals a complex raised ridge field system used by the ancestors of the Menominee Indian Tribe to cultivate crops like corn, beans, and squash.

Using drone-mounted lidar to survey about 330 acres, researchers discovered parallel ridges 4 to 12 inches high across the landscape—far larger and better preserved than previously estimated, roughly ten times the scale known before. Radiocarbon dating suggests the fields were built between the 10th century and 1600 and were actively maintained for centuries.

The Farmers modified the topography and soil to boost crop productivity, including adding wetland soils and household waste as natural fertilizer. This impressive agricultural system required significant labor, planning, and social organization, contradicting ideas that small egalitarian indigenous groups lacked such sophistication. The discovery also hints at a much larger ancient agricultural landscape hidden beneath forest cover.

Walking barefoot on natural ground allows the body to reconnect with the Earth’s subtle electromagnetic energies.
This grounding experience, often called “earthing,” helps restore a sense of balance and calm.
The skin’s direct contact with soil, grass, or moss facilitates a gentle energy exchange between the human body and the planet.
Many find that this simple act promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.
It is a quiet reminder that we are deeply connected to the living energy of the Earth beneath our feet.
