Over the years Wallace has presented this history through creative re-enactments and readings. He has educated and entertained students and adults alike throughout the state of Oklahoma.

Men like the famed Seminole Negro Indian Scouts John T. Glass, Jim Beckworth, Britton Johnson, Isaiah Dorman, Frank Grouard and many others.

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:29:00 GMT

Saturday August 23
2-4 pm
Museum of the Great Plains
601 NW Ferris Ave., Lawton

Monthly Meeting and Special Guest

Dr. Don Wyckoff, Curator of Archaeology at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History.

"Clovis and the End of Mammoths"

Synopsis: Between 12,000 and 10,500 years ago, 33 major species of mammals became extinct in North America. Among them such large forms as horses, camels, ground sloths, cave bears, lion, mastodons, and mammoths. Because the period of extinction overlaps with archaeological evidence for the arrival of humans, particular those carrying the Clovis material culture, it has been argued that Clovis people were responsible for the die-off. Such an explanation is increasingly in question as new evidence is available about the arrival, and point of arrival, of Clovis groups as well as significant climatic changes occurring around 10,900 years ago. Dr. Wyckoff's talk will delve into these questions and some of the new findings that bear on the interaction of people spreading across the North American continent.

Biography: Dr. Don Wyckoff's PH.D. is from Washington State University; graduated in 1980 when Mt. St. Helens erupted! He has worked as an archeologist in Oklahoma for 47 years, first for the Oklahoma River Basin Surveys here at the University of Oklahoma, then as Oklahoma's first State Archaeologist. From 1968 to 1996 he was Director of the Oklahoma Archaeological Survey. From 1996 to present: teaching half time for the Department of Anthropology at OU and half time curator of archaeology for the Oklahoma Museum of Natural History at OU. In April of 2008, O.U. President David Boren announced Dr. Wyckoff as the recipient of a David Ross Boyd Presidential professorship. Dr. Wyckoff is involved with research on ice-age environments in Oklahoma, with hunter-gatherer societies here between 10,000 and 2,000 years ago, and with the sources of knappable stone favored by hunting and gathering people throughout prehistory on the Southern Plains.

Other interesting links where you'll find out more about Dr. Wycoff and his work include this interview with the History Detectives, and this one at OU faculty pages.

Arvel Bird with âMany Tribes, One Fire Bandâ Quick Bio
Music is fusion of American Indian Fiddle/flute with Celtic and Jazz
People may know it as âWorld Musicâ. Has several CDâs out.
Visit: www.arvelbird.com or www.myspace.com/arvelbird

Arvelâs heritage is Southern Piaute/Scottish. His band members include former Oklahoman, Steve Allen, who will be on the guitar that night. Steve was born and raised in Oklahoma. His sister still lives there and he has many family and friends there and gets back as often as he can. So this gig is like coming home for him. He was taught guitar by Eldon Chamblin of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, a big group in Oklahoma in those days. He attended Oklahoma State University and had his own band there. Eventually he moved to L.A. and now is in Nashville.

Other members include,
Michael Jackson
Brad Bearsheart whose young children will be performing traditional dances while they play. They are Varinia, Nathaniel, and Ella Bearsheart.

They will do a variety of dances: jingle, grass and fancy, depending on the type of song. The kids are experienced dancers. Native kids whose parents are actively involved in learning their traditions (like Brad and his wife, Gabrielle), learn to dance very young, so they will be a delightful addition to the show!

2 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Guest Leland Bement

From Mammoth Hunters to Bison Hunters: Culture Change During The Younger Dryas

As the glaciers began to melt 12,000 years ago an abrupt climate change cast the world back into ice age conditions. This event is known as the Younger Dryas. During this time in North America people of the Clovis culture were hunting mammoths and other large animals. At the start of the Younger Dryas the mammoths went extinct, forcing the hunters to shift to hunting other animals. Archaeology in Oklahoma adds to this research. A look at the changing climate and cultures during this period will be presented from the perspective of excavations in Oklahoma.

Dr. Bement is an archaeologist with the Oklahoma Archeological Survey, OU. He has been with the Survey for 16 years and specializes in Paleoindian cultures, animal bones, and environmental reconstructions.
