Indigenous Archaeology Day
Head to the Wheelock Academy Historic Site this September for Indigenous Archeology Day. This educational event features demonstrations of several traditional Choctaw art forms. These traditions have been practiced for generations and are still performed today. Listen to talks about these traditional disciplines and watch experts demonstrate them. Tables will be set up around the event where you can learn more about art forms like pottery, textiles and traditional cooking. Talks about archery, flint-knapping and other skills will captivate visitors with unique perspectives on these traditions.
Stick around for the afternoon session featuring a demonstration of traditional Choctaw cooking. When the demonstration is over, enjoy a traditional meal before the afternoon talks begin.
