Historian to discuss Native American culture in northern Louisiana

As part of the ‘Lincoln 150’ Sesquicentennial events, the Lincoln Parish Museum will host a historian to discuss Native Americans in north Louisiana.

Local historian Allen Tuten, who has collected Native American artifacts his whole life and who has spent the last 20 years learning about their culture and everyday living activities, will show some of his artifacts and discuss how they were made and used. Tuten will also talk about north Louisiana’s rich history of Native American habitation.

This free event will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, and doors will open at 6 p.m. The Lincoln Parish Museum is located at 609 N. Vienna Street in Ruston. For more information, call museum director Rick Godly at 318-243-4681.
