RESCHEDULED- This Event will be rescheduled for a future date. Please stay tuned for another event posting on it. This November for Native American Heritage Month, stop by the fort and view a display on the early pre-history of the Verde Valley, put on by volunteer and local author Robert Erb.
Before The Fort was built and before settlers came west, there were people here, not just living, but thriving.
According to archeologists, humans first came to the Verde Valley around 11,500 B.C. These people are known as Paleo Indians. They were hunter-gatherers at the end of the last Ice Age who hunted mammoth, giant bison, mastodon, short faced bear, and the saber-toothed cat.
More recently from about 600 A.D. to 1450 A.D. the Hisatsinom (formerly Sinagua) Indians, who lived in cliff dwellings, made the Verde Valley their home. These are the ancestors of today's Hopi, Zuni, and other pueblo people who live in Eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico.
See the tools and weapons they used, learn about their culture and the ways they lived in harmony with the natural world. Bob will be around throughout this week to give talks and demonstrations.
Regular admission to the park does apply.
