Our friend and GLP instructor, Erik Vosteen is in the news down Fort Wayne way:

Celebrate the history and traditions of the earliest inhabitants of the Three Rivers area at “Miami Indian Heritage Day” on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 1-4 p.m., at Chief Richardville House, 5705 Bluffton Road, Fort Wayne.

Naturalist Erik Vosteen will demonstrate traditional Great Lakes weaponry (hand and throwing weapons, and atlatl). Visitors will learn about the equipment and techniques, history, and other interesting facts about the tools.

Guests may tour the historic 1827-built home of Miami Chief Jean Baptiste de Richardville. This restored site affords visitors the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of our area’s history. The first floor of the Chief Richardville House is handicap accessible.

Admission is $7 adults; $5 seniors and students; History Center members and children under 5 are admitted free. Parking is free. For more information, call the History Center at (260) 426-2882, or visit fwhistorycenter.com.

Check Erik out at Burnt Mud.
