Greg Little describes how a series of intrusive, recurring dreams in 1984 led him to document thousands of Native American mounds. Despite having no prior knowledge of the subject, the dreams compelled him to create a photographic record and a pictorial encyclopedia of North American mounds. He later discovered his own Seneca ancestry, which deepened his personal connection to the research.
