Paleo-Indians
Wisconsin's First People
10,000 to 6,500 B.C.
Painting by Phoebe Hefko
"The Paleo-Indians lived in small, extended family groups that included grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents and children. Archaeologists have found small campsites where they stayed for short periods of time, sometimes living in natural shelters such as caves or rock overhangs. When necessary, they probably built small houses out of wood and animal hides."
Susan Lawton Hunt, Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey
"Glaciers still covered some of the area that is now Wisconsin, so the weather was colder than it is now."
This poster also features paintings of spearpoints and the hunting of a great wooly mammoth, as well as a timeline and lots of informative text bars.
Printed on heavy, coated paper, suitable for lamination, Wisconsin's Early Indian Cultures Poster Set makes an excellent visual reference and extension to the first book in the New Badger History Series, Digging and Discovery; with the detailed text bars that accompany each illustration, these posters can also stand on their own. The posters are sent in a sturdy mailing tube convenient for storage.
