Native American Material Culture Explored at Stifel

WHEELING — Join local author, historian and artist Alan Fitzpatrick from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, at the Stifel Fine Arts Center for a hands-on talk and demonstration that brings to life the history and material culture of 18th century Native American people living in the Upper Ohio Valley.

Learn about Native American culture before and after 1750 and the impact dependency on European trade had on Native American life. Admission is free, and the program is family friendly and open to all ages.

Fitzpatrick is an author, historian, artist and lecturer with extensive knowledge of 18th Century American History with focus on the Eastern Woodland Native culture in the Ohio Country during the French and Indian Wars through the American Revolution.

His six non-fiction American history books detail the Native-American side of the story of wilderness war during the 1700s. Fitzpatrick’s well-known oil portraits are often subjects that he has written about and capture the emotion and spirit of individuals in an ultra-realistic style.

Lecturing for more than a decade, Fitzpatrick’s presentations bring to life Native American culture during a tumultuous time in history through dress, artifacts and paintings.
