About This Publication
Crossroads of the Past: 12,000 Years of Indian Life in Arkansas provides an overview of the history and ways of life of peoples who have inhabited Arkansas since humans first set foot in our region of the country. Frank Schambach and Leslie Newell acquaint readers with patterns of migration and settlement, describe elements of daily life such as acquisition and preparation of food, and explain the devastating impact of European exploration and settlement on indigenous populations.
Although this volume can stand alone, it will be particularly useful as a study guide for the traveling panel exhibit Crossroads of the Past. Developed by the University Museum at Fayetteville, the Arkansas Archeological Survey, and the Arkansas Humanities Council, this exhibit depicts Indian life in Arkansas through photographs, drawings, paintings, maps, and text. Financial assistance for the exhibit and this publication was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Schools, public libraries, historical societies, museums, civic clubs, and other organizations may borrow the exhibit and some of the audiovisual materials described at the end of this volume from the Arkansas Humanities Resource Center. Additional copies of Crossroads of the Past: 12,000 Years of Indian Life in Arkansas are also available.
