Shirley Frederiksen, coordinator with Golden Hills Resource Conservation & Development Area in Oakland, Iowa, said the group is working to develop plans to preserve a recently acquired archaeological site.
"We just preserved 917 acres in Mills County around Glenwood, Iowa. They have the richest known archaeological sites in Iowa in the Central Plains tradition," she said.
The project is also being developed as part of the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway, which runs along Iowa's western border.
"We're doing a cultural resources study right now and we want to do a feasibility study for the Glenwood (Indian) culture and create an archaeological interpretive center and pull that all together with what's going on in the community," Frederiksen said.
Frederiksen said she recalled several personal visits to Mitchell's Indian Village and felt it could offer guidelines for the Iowa project.
"We're just trying to help the local people to do what they want. We have an architect along today, as well as some amateur archeologists, historians and museum people who are trying to get some ideas."
About $402,000 was collected for the study, which covers the whole Loess Hills landform, which comprises parts of eight counties and 650,000 acres along the Missouri River.
There were no American Indians on Thursday's tour. Tribes have been involved with blessing ceremonies at several past events, Frederiksen said.
The biggest coup so far for the Iowans was a symposium last fall that drew 44 archeologists from across the nation.
"I just wanted to (come here) to give them an idea of what they could do," Frederiksen said.
The 24-person contingent, most from the Glenwood area, listened to Indian Village board members Jerry Garry and Jim Hunt as they outlined the village's development.
"Fundraising was long and difficult," said Garry, as he outlined the village's arduous transformation from a site where locals gathered arrowheads to its eventual acceptance as a guardian of the Mitchell area's prehistoric heritage. The attraction draws nearly 15,000 visitors a year.
After viewing an introductory film in the Boehnen Museum and viewing a reconstructed earth lodge, the group trekked over to the Thomsen Center Archeodome, where college student Philip Day explained the workings of the covered archeological dig.
The dome covers only four of the 60 to 100 Indian lodges believed to be on the six-acre site. The July 3 Brule concert at the nearby outdoor amphitheater is the latest expansion of the Indian Village's celebration of Indian culture.
