The Missouri River Basin Lewis & Clark Visitor Center is hosting its annual Native American Artifact Show on Saturday, March 9, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

The show will feature authentic Native American artifacts from a number of private and public collections. Visitors will be able to see some of the finest examples of spear points, arrowheads, tools, and pottery in the Midwest.

Hands-on activities will include corn grinding demonstrations and pottery making.

Don’t miss out on a special presentation at 1:00 pm by Nolan Johnson, "Nebraska Archaeology: 10,000 BCE to Circa 1,800 CE".

This program discusses the lengthy human occupation prior to the arrival of Euro-Americans in Nebraska. The human timeline is divided into Paleo-Indian hunters, Archaic hunter-gatherers, Woodland horticulturalists, Plains Villagers, Horse Nomads, Coalescent, and post contact. Archeological evidence, including stone and bone tools, architecture, floral and faunal remains, and settlement patterns, are used to illustrate prehistoric lifeways.

This FREE event is sponsored in part by Humanities Nebraska.
