This spring take a trip back in time to rediscover the culture and contributions of Native Alabamians at Whispers From the Past – A Native American Experience.

Native American life will take shape through demonstrations of flintknapping, cooking and hunting weapons, and activities like leaf pounding, beading, corn grinding, gourd painting and pottery. Children can try their hands at games and activities. At 2:00, Naturalist Dr. Richard Cobb will present "Evolution of Culture and Technology in Prehistoric Alabama."

Hear the sounds of drums and flutes and the highlight of the day — three dance performances by the Sylestine Legacy, a family of Alabama Coushatta Native Americans — including a black-light performance at 7:15.

Vendors will sell fry bread and Indian tacos, as well as coins, antler carving and knives, beaded jewelry, carved shell jewelry and items for children including flutes and beaded jewelry.

This event is made possible in part by Energen. Thanks also to our corporate sponsors AT&T, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Alabama, Walter Energy and Protective Life.
