Learn more about the first and only UNESCO World Heritage site located here in Ohio – the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks. Spanning several locations throughout Ohio and built by American Indian communities, these earthworks served as sacred gathering places. Upon discovering they are some of the largest and most complex in the world, Belinda Gore began her quest to learn more. In 2021, she and Marcus Boroughs founded The Great Circle Alliance, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to offer public programs and exhibits to raise awareness of the ancient monumental indigenous sites of Ohio. Their work includes a residency for contemporary Native artists to bring an indigenous presence back to the once vibrant sophisticated culture 2,000 years ago.
