Chipallotta's

The "Chipallotta's" are a sub-chapter of the Ark-La-Tex Gem and Mineral Society. While their overall goals are the same as the Club, they provide their education in a somewhat different manner. They do demonstrations for local Scout groups, civic and church groups, schools, and other venue as they are available. They provide instruction to anyone interested in wanting to learn the art of flintknapping. They also assist one another in refining their flintknapping techniques. They are a storehouse of knowledge reguarding points, point types, and general information reguarding paleo to historic flintnapping tools, materials and techniques.

Meetings are almost every week at Leo Perry's shop (The Dixie Monument Company) on highway 80 , across the street from Brookshires in Haughton, La. They try to get started between 6 and 6:30 PM, and stay around until around 8 to 8:30 PM. Anyone interested in learning how to flintknapp, or just to learn a little bit more about the process are welcome to drop by.
