From Atlatls to Arrows: Drop-In Sessions at the Confluence

Step into the footsteps of the region’s earliest hunters with our hands-on drop-in sessions at the Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center, every Wednesday and Friday at 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM CT throughout the summer!

No registration needed! Just drop in and give it a shot!

Learn how the first inhabitants of the region shaped stone, wood, and sinew into the tools they relied on for survival.

Discover the skill and ingenuity behind ancient hunting techniques as you grip an atlatl, the powerful spear-thrower used for thousands of years, and feel the precision of a traditional bow and arrow in your hands.

Experience firsthand how technology evolved to meet the challenges of life on the plains, and gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and resilience of those who came before.

Test your aim. Explore the past. Make history hands-on.
