I remember being maybe 10 years old and my father bought a parcel of land deep in the woods to build a custom home on. I think back then he’d already found a customer and the customer had brought along a psychic to look anything to give him pause about building his home there, and for native American remains of a village or encampment possibly made there in the past.
I distinctly remember him saying to the group of us “STOP……I can feel something”. While we all paused, he pointed to a large, whitish rock. It lookrd like quartz, or some other light colored small boulder.

He claimed that the local tribes (Lenni Lenape) buried their dead under these more distinctive colored large rocks and we were on hallowed ground. The customer became nervous about the psychics findings and was hesitant to build their home. Eventually my dad built the home and all went well.

Whenever I see one of those big white rocks, I get kinda freaked out that a Native American is buried under one and also think of memories of my dad and how hard he worked to support us. He wasn’t perfect, but he gave it his all.

Last Summer, I was clearing some bush at my Cabin on an Island.

I came across a Mound, Round about 6' in Diameter, about 3' high. Covered in Leaves, needles and such.

Thinking it was a Rock, and how will I ever move this? I scraped the top and it was Soft, Sifted, Blonde, Beach Sand. No Stones, No roots, just Cleaned Sand in the middle of the woods, on an Island.

Any Guess Why, How?

Perhaps a sand boil?

I suspect, it was a Sand Pile, for the Horse Drawn Winter Log Slieghs. It was at the bottom of a Hill. The Island was logged Many Years Ago, (twice) judging by the Stumps.

Speaking of eagles, this was in 2014. Yes that's a live eagle.

About as patriotic as it gets.
BUT
How would that change if the eagle crapped and it landed on the flag?
Problem?

BTW, it wouldn't be nearly as inspiring in a Canadian version.
Maple leaf and a Canada goose. Not the same effect :)
