Bill Black

Pitted Stones

 

A show and tell discussion about the mysterious    pitted-stones.  How were they used, what are they for.  Bring your examples to show and share



 Leon Sam Briggs
Guii:wëo (the good word)


Leon will present a discussion about living between two worlds, Seneca   people before contact and present time and how we keep our terdional ways  and also living in a modern world. How we have changed but still holding on to our traditional ways through language, ceremonies, food and political views. 
 
Walter Skrzypek

HOBO Art

 



We’ve all heard the term "hobo”  gut most don’t know about these men who often  traveled by rail to find work opportunities. Hobos developed in an intricate system of communicating  through hobo signs in the form of engraved designs or symbols on various surfaces near  small towns and around the railroad and near bridges and tunnels  This program will explore some of that history. 


 John Cornman

Primitive Technology

 

I will be talking about primitive tools  and weapons, as well as the technology used to create them. From flintknapping, to peck and grind, to cordage, I will discuss some of the ways our ancestors met and conquered the every day difficulties of surviving
