, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will present a 45-minute ranger-led program focusing on how early indigenous peoples made fire. This program will take place at the Gateway Site, 10 Hamm Road, Chattanooga, TN, 37405.
As humans, our first experience with fire likely came from a lightning strike. To keep this fire, humans had to figure out ways to carry hot embers to make fires as he needed to cook with and to keep him warm. Fire was also used to help protect them from wild animals. This program will look at some of the techniques early indigenous peoples used to make fire. Appropriate clothing for the weather, a chair, and water is recommended.
