ACOTW TM Arrowhead Collecting On The Web The Lee Family Project: To Build A Comprehensive Missouri Regional Type Collection & The Inspiration For This Timeline. · Over 25 years of hunting and collecting · All arrowheads with pink labels are personal finds · A majority of the arrowheads were found within the last 20 years · A wide variety of Missouri lithics exhibiting fantastic color Importance of the Timeline Our timeline display was inspired by a trip to the Smithsonian - National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). And we don’t mean this in a good way. The nicest things we can say about this museum is “the architecture of the building is attractive and the cafeteria food was delicious”. Unfortunately, the prehistoric content was limited and the historic items were questionable. Avonlea Arrowhead RelicShack.com Item #: 15177. Type: Avonlea. Price: $200.00. Dimensions: 2-1/8" long. Found: Southern Nebraska. Era: Late Prehistoric (200 - 800 AD). Description: Very nice, classic, river polish. Found on the high plains. The museum contained a single wall of projectile points. We were expecting a larger quantity but the major disappointment came from the display. It is hard to believe that any Smithsonian Archaeologist would allow the points to be displayed as schools of fish! Overall, the museum exhibited more skateboards than axes, celts, discoidals, boat stones, plummets, pipes and spades combined. We questioned the Information Desk and was told that the NMAI is more of a cultural museum than a historical museum. The museum experience wasn’t a total loss, it reinforced a very important point. We must keep our legal rights to collect artifacts and preserve our history. Archaeological Society’s are constantly battling this issue for us. Leaving history preservation to only museum committees and government bureaucrats risks interpretations based on politics and special interests. It is inexcusable to represent our Native American culture, history, and heritage with European products or a pair of beaded Converse shoes while neglecting thousands of years pre-1492. As a result, our family created this timeline to supplement the missing 13,500 years ignored by the Smithsonian - National Museum of the American Indian. Notes: · Our collection is being built using less than the $759,000,000.00 of tax money given each year to the Smithsonian. (...continues on p. 7) Volume II, Number 5 6 May 2010
