The Indigenous Deep History of Fontenelle Forest
Indigenous people have lived along the Missouri River at places like Fontenelle Forest for over 13,000 years. For much of that time, human groups were nomadic hunter-gatherers with a fragile but tantalizing archeological record. Beginning about two thousand years ago, groups began building earth and log homes, semi-permanent settlements and practicing horticulture. These people left a robust archeological record including many sites in Fontenelle Forest. The Pawnee, Omaha, Oto, and Ioway tribes emerged from these early horticulturists. Join Rob Bozell, retired Nebraska State Archeologist, for his fascinating talk about these early peoples.
