Visitors will hear Native American myths and stories, participate in dances, and see live  demonstrations of tools and weapons including the atlatl and blowgun. This is a curriculum-based program for elementary children.  Students will briefly visit exhibits in the Center's museum where they will be introduced to the history of the Southeastern Indians.
