Deb Huglin, of the Mississippian Culture Organization (MCO), writes to the Portal:
The Mounds in the Americas are created by the Indigenous American population of the time. The Chahta, or Choctaw build mounds of this nature from the areas in the Northern Mississippi and Ohio Valleys to the southernmost Chacha-Poya or Chahta-Poya areas of Peru and Bolivia. These mounds tend to exist everywhere there is trade as well, all the way to the Eastern coasts of the North and Central Americas to the Western coasts of South America, and across the interior where the old lakes, rivers and bayous existed prior to the cataclysmic events of 22,000-18,000 years ago and beyond while the climate changed. The archaeological materials and the cultural traditional knowledge that has survived despite the massive genocide against indigenous Americans for the past 500 years indicate this is a part of a huge population that easily traversed the continents north to south. The other side of the Rockies show evidence of similar architectural works into the Pleistocene from the Quechua/Quechan speakers including but not limited to Incas, Kumeyaay and other tribal groups from Bolivia to Canada.
Nobody is extinct, they are just displaced from the invasions and genocides.
For more information you can contact Jim Hickinbotham, his name in Chahta is HLahantubbe, at Mississippian Culture Organization

Nobody is extinct.
Nothing is lost.
The People have always lived on Turtle Island since Creation.
By the way, during the invasion period to contemporary times, the people of North America call the continent Turtle Island and the people of South America call it Parrot Island because they have traditional knowledge going back to the time when the land masses were separate...meaning before the tectonic plates moved enough for them to join. Trust local and indigenous traditional knowledge, there is a real reason for everything. Post-Secondary Presses put out masses of misinformation during the expansionist periods to attempt to displace more indigenous population. Try to check your sources and check their sources. There were no extinctions, nobody is extinct. There were genocidal war activities, but people and their traditional knowledge survived. It will take generations for the correct information to be available in print because much of it is still suppressed...but it is out there!
