I wanted to know, What tribe would have been in this area? It is very exciting to me ,A city boy, Finding stuff like this. I heard that a lot of farmers when they plow ! up new ground , find lots of things in the plowed up dirt, I think there has been many ,many arrowheads found in this area, Can anyone help me with the Native Indian Population in Gretna Area. Thanks for your time.
