New World Trade Center
A united Tribal capital for trade forms around a monumental group of towers built near the confluence of the Misi-ziibi and Missouri rivers, near present-day Cahokia, Irenwe·wa.
These towers mark the location when white man and indigenous people formally agreed to become one people and to work together to form this new nation with respect for all cultures of the People.
Now it is a capital for trade among the tribes, regions, protectorates and cities.
Blending traditional Native American and modern design, the towers have become a trade and economic hub.
