Limiting / critical citation for public claim

Cataloged heritage and site records place Poverty Point, Hopewell ceremonial earthworks, and Cahokia within Indigenous North American histories and provide no evidence for a lost non-Indigenous builder population.

The evidence does not automatically support broader causal, technological, transmission, or literalizing claims beyond the cited record.
