10,000 Years of Hunting and Fishing in Southampton

An exhibition "10,000 Years of Hunting and Fishing in Southampton" will be shown from Sept. 16 to Oct. 29. According to the press release on the exhibit: "The Clovis-Paleolithic People were early Native Americans who settled on Long Island around 10-12,000 BCE as glaciers from the last Ice Age receded North. Farmers have been finding arrow heads used for hunting and fishing that were left behind by the Clovis/Paleo, Archaic, Woodland, and the later Shinnecock Tribe for generations. David Bunn Martine, director of the Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum, has curated a show depicting this long period in our history that includes the Shinnecock teaching English pioneers, beginning in 1640, how to hunt whales, harvest native plants and trap game."
