Spring Hill students learn about Creek Indians

Butch Fuller, of Creek Indian heritage, visited Spring Hill Elementary on Friday, October 12 as an extension of the study of Georgia and Fayette County. Fuller related information on the customs and culture of the Creek Indians who lived here in Fayette County. Dressed in traditional Creek clothing, Fuller demonstrated such things as the starting of a fire with flint and steel, explained the hunting and preparing of food and described what life was like for children in a Creek community. This is the sixth year that Fuller has visited Spring Hill. Third-grade students reacted to Fuller’s presentation with enthusiasum, saying it was “very interesting” and “totally awesome.” Photo/Dionne Ryff.
