How did they build their mounds?
Did they have metal to make shovels?
If not what where their shovels made of?
Thanks :)

Cute.
Why did they build those mounds in the first place?
I know that the Inuit made shovels out of bone, but I don't know if something like that would cut into earth as well as snow
That said I'm not sure they would've needed shovels. To make a mound all you need is a couple hundred people dumping baskets of various kinds of earth on the same spot, so they could've just dug with their hands

No, they probably used wooden and stone tools. You can build impressive structures without metal tools.

You can make shovels out of wood, this example is from the bronze age but you can make the same tool with stone tools.
