Free Coloring Page

In 2022, Domonique Mitchell (Waccamaw Siouan Artist) created a coloring page that depicts a Waccamaw Siouan male spearfishing.  The spears where made of hickory and used deer antler tips for a point.  Some elders remember when spearfishing was more prominent in our culture as a way of fishing.  In the 1950s, there was still accounts of this practice continuing and with much larger bowfin fish we see today.  

This is a free coloring page for you to use in continuing to educate about our culture and traditions as Waccamaw Siouan People.
