The Octagon Mound in Newark, Ohio was named one of the 70 wonders of the ancient world (Scarre, 1999), and yet today, this American Indian spiritual space is occupied by a private country club whose golf course winds around the mound. This article describes Indigenous, colonial, and academic voices regarding mound access issues and community-based arts events that explore these dialogues. Power, positioning, coalition building, and colonial tensions are captured through the methodology of narrative portraits. Colonial, decolonial, and self-determinate theories are utilized in analyzing the narratives. A consulting collaborative approach is explored and suggested as one way of responding to practices, research, and injustices that continue to face American Indians.
