The festival as described by the even't website Moundville.UA.Edu:

Ancient rulers and thousands of their subjects thrived in a city behind huge wooden walls that once surrounded the Moundville site. Their society recognized nobles by birth and praised the feats of great artists, warriors and holy people.

Each October, descendants of this vibrant culture return, celebrating the South’s rich Indian heritage at the award winning Moundville Native American Festival.
