Red Horn

The Red Horn has been widely used in Mississippi culture. The mound builders believed that the Red Horn was one of the five sons of the Creator of the Earth, whom the Creator created with his own hands and sent to Earth to save humanity. The Red Horn was a great hero and led military squads against the enemies of humans and supernatural monsters and demons from the Underworld including Great Serpent и Horned Panther.... The legends of the Red Horn of the Ho-Chunk and Winnebago tribes include adventures with the Turtle and Thunderbird, as well as battles with the race of giants. The picture above shows the symbol of the Red Horn, the great hero of Mississippi mythology, known to the Sioux as "He who wears human heads like earrings." His name is interesting because the people of Mississippi cut off the heads of their enemies as a trophy of their success. The severed head proves his prowess as a great warrior. Warrior Symbol depicts a man carrying his head. This action was part of the culture of the Mississippi, and the severed heads of enemies were displayed on 40-foot wooden pools during their games. Chunkey .
