For those interested in how some Native Americans (Alaska and Yukon) were using native copper.

Interesting video. Thanks for posting.
A few years ago I attended the Gold and Mineral show in El Paso ,Texas and spoke with detector representative from Wisconsin who located over 200 copper artifacts along the Michigan and Wisconsin border. Would have been interesting to see the artifacts that he found.

I grew up not too far from the copper country in the Upper Peninsula - I find that stuff really cool. I can see about making it to some museums in the area next time I'm back and see if they'll let me take some pictures or something along those lines.
JackCrafty:
Any and all pictures are welcome!
Hmmm. I'm not that far from El Paso. I'll have to look up that mineral show...

I have planned a trip to Cahokia mounds in April with a student group. I am going to call ahead can see if we can get more info on the copper industry for that site. I will try and get as many pictures as possible.
