We had a wonderful time today participating in the Bowdon Area Historical Society and SUSTAIN.peopleplanetprosper's “Voices of the Land” program!

It was great spending the morning with Bowdon Middle School students discussing local archaeological sites and exploring how Native communities used and interacted with the lands in and around what would eventually become the City of Bowdon in fun, experiential ways.

A huge thank you to the organizers, volunteers, educators, and community partners who helped make the event possible! 🙌
