Mark Hylkema Anthropologist & Archeologist: Keynote Speaker
After the ceremony and after the attendees had helped themselves to the delicious buffet-style dinner, our featured speaker, Mark Hylkema, anthropologist, archeologist, and author, gave a fascinating talk about the Native American groups who lived in this area before the settlers came and disrupted their centuries old cultures, their healthy food, their effective land management strategies, and many other things we could learn from them, including that they are still here.
