Butterfly, Butterfly moves around the globe examining child labor in American agriculture, tobacco, coffee, cocoa. It examines the plight of street children, incarcerating children, how we address the massive inequality that consigns children to forced labor or contributes to 13.7 million children who are fleeing for their lives. Butterfly, Butterfly looks at how we are cultivating a new generation of youth activists and leaders and it ultimately I hope is a film with an optimistic message. |

The Ancient History of Metomen Township: The Grand River Mound and Walker-Hooper Village Native American Archaeological Sites near Kingston
Did you know that one of the largest and most important ancient Native American village and burial mound complexes in eastern Wisconsin is located just 10-15 miles west of Fairwater? Mark your calendars for our Annual Meeting on Saturday, March 4 at 1 p.m. to hear about it!
Archaeologist Ryan J. Howell will speak on “The Ancient History of Metomen Township: The Grand River Mound and Walker-Hooper Village Native American Archaeological Sites near Kingston, WI.”
He will speak about these sites, and the history of their excavation by and with the Walker family from the 1920s to the 1970s.
Also discussed will be what these digs have taught us about the lives and lifestyles of the ancient Native Americans who called what would become Fond du Lac and Winnebago counties home more than 1,000 years ago. The Native American pottery and arrowhead artifact types associated with ancient sites common to the Fairwater area will be discussed.
Audience members are welcome to bring any artifacts from their own family collections from the area, to have Howell identify and date them for you. Native American artifacts in the Fairwater area go back more than 12,000 years into the past, so you might be surprised what your family might have found in your own farm fields!

He is currently the Garrison Archaeologist at Fort McCoy for the U.S. Army. He received his BA in Archaeology/Anthropology from the University of Wyoming, and his Masters degree from UW–Madison in 1998.

His research interests include both the pre-contact and historic contact eras of Wisconsin history.
