News"Stop Scraping Indigenous Heritage From the Land," Cleveland Plain Dealer, Sunday, May 31, 2026. Opinion piece by James W. Graham
"Stretching more than 200 feet across the Sonoran Desert of Arizona was a work of Indigenous landscape art in the shape of a fish, an 'intaglio,' carved into the rocky surface more than 1,000 years ago. On April 23, President Donald Trump’s border-wall builders used heavy machinery to cut a 60-to-70-foot swath straight across it ...

Reviews“Brilliant! In this page-turning mystery, James Graham reveals the genius of ancient Indigenous astronomers in the Newark Earthworks that has always been there--at night we see the same celestial moon that they saw.”
--Donald L. Fixico (Shawnee, Sac & Fox, Muscogee and Seminole), author of The American Indian Mind in a Linear World “In telling the story of a visionary philosopher’s and a skeptical scientist’s shared journey of intellectual inquiry, James Graham gives us a fascinating window into the process of deciphering the complex work of a 2000-year-old society that integrated solar-lunar astronomy and large-scale geometry with a vast landscape. Where the Moon Stands Still invites those of us in the modern and non-Indigenous world to enter the multidimensional creativity and astute science of a remarkable people.” --Anna Sofaer, archaeoastronomy researcher and PBS documentary filmmaker "In this excellent book, Jim Graham tells the very human story of how Ohio’s Native American earthwork builders’ unparalleled astronomical genius was rediscovered. Deftly weaving engaging accounts of the ancient builders and the perspectives of their contemporary descendants, this book will do much to enhance public appreciation of these astonishing yet enigmatic monuments.” -- John E. Hancock, author of Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks and Traveler's Guide to Ancient Ohio. |
