rdf:langString Nanih Waiya (també pronunciat Nunih Waya) és un antic monticle de terra al , construït pels indígenes durant el Període Silvícola, entre els anys 1 -300 CE. Des del segle xvii els històrics choctaws han venerat Nanih Waiya com el seu lloc d'origen sagrat en les creences tradicionals. Avui el monticle de Nanih Waiya té 7,6 metres d'alt, 43 metres d'ample i 67 metres de llarg. L'evidència suggereix que el seu origen va ser una monticle de plataforma, que s'ha erosionat en la forma actual. Antigament era envoltat en tres costats per un recinte circular d'obres de terra a uns tres metres d'alçada, que va abastar al voltant d'una milla quadrada. El 2008 l'estat de Mississipí va tornar Nanih Waiya i el seu parc associat de 150 acres al control de la Banda Mississippi d'indis choctaw, una tribu reconeguda federalment. Nanih Waiya està inclòs en el Registre Nacional de Llocs Històrics dels Estats Units.
rdf:langString Nanih Waiya (alternately spelled Nunih Waya) is an ancient platform mound in southern Winston County, Mississippi, constructed by indigenous people during the Middle Woodland period, about 300 to 600 CE. Since the 17th century, the Choctaw have venerated Nanih Waiya mound and a nearby cave as their sacred origin location. The earthwork mound of Nanih Waiya is about 25 feet (7.6 m) tall, 140 feet (43 m) wide, and 220 feet (67 m) long. Evidence suggests it was originally a larger platform mound, which has eroded into the present shape. At one time, it was bounded on three sides by a circular earthwork enclosure about ten feet tall, which encompassed one square mile. The Choctaw lost control of this property during the 1830s and period of their removal to Indian Territory. After being privately owned, the state acquired it to preserve the ancient site and operated it as a park. In 2006, the Mississippi Legislature's State Bill 2803 officially returned control of the site to the Luke Family, and T. W. Luke deeded it to the State on the condition that it be maintained as a park. In 2008, the Luke family deeded control of the site to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, a federally recognized tribe. Nanih Waiya has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973 for its significance.
