Ais Indian replica tools
The Ais people, who flourished along Florida's Indian River for centuries before European contact, crafted ingenious tools perfectly suited to the coastal environment they mastered. These replicas honor the skill and resourcefulness of the original inhabitants of what is now Martin County, reminding us of the rich Indigenous history that preceded Stuart's settlement in the late 1800s.
