The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Historic Preservation Department, in collaboration with the Oklahoma Public Archaeology Network (OKPAN), will be hosting an Indigenous Archaeology Day at Wheelock Academy Historic Site to promote Indigenous approaches to Archaeology. The event will be split into a morning and afternoon session. Tables include information on traditional Choctaw art forms including pottery, flintknapping, and textiles, which have been documented archaeologically and still practiced by the Choctaw community today. Demonstrations scheduled throughout the event will provide deeper insight into traditional Choctaw artforms and lifeways.
Traditional foods will be prepared onsite and served at noon.
