Inside the longhouse you'll see things set up pretty much the way they
would have been when it was occupied. There are several firepits in the
dirt floor, each underneath a vent in the roof to let the smoke out. Many
artifacts and furnishings complete the interior. There are stores of food,
animal skins, tools and cooking utensils, baskets, toys and amusements,
and even a real birchbark canoe. The village and longhouse have been used
for many motion picture shoots, including, in 1996, Pocahantas, and The
Oath. You may not see it filled with cast members in traditional native
costume, but the house is ready if they ever wanted to move in. You'll
be taken back by the atmosphere of a long house from long ago. |
