Plans for a new College of Charleston dorm are stirring up deep concerns among Native American groups, who say the site sits atop an 18th-century burial ground. The Muscogee (Creek) Nation wants a real say before any construction moves forward, arguing that disturbing these graves would violate federal law and disrespect their ancestors. Local advocates and experts are calling for genuine consultation and community involvement, especially since thousands—Native, African, and European—may be buried there. How should Charleston balance its need for student housing with honoring this sacred ground? What would respectful development look like? #Education #College #Charleston
