This documentary reveals what happened in the land now known as Fairfield, Iowa before the European Americans came to town. Experience the impact of the great glaciers, the movement of prehistoric fauna, and the traditions and language of the native peoples of this land - what happened in Southeast Iowa before the first settlers arrived. Soaring aerials of prairie grasses and snippets of interviews with archaeologists, Native American tribal historians as well as Dr. Bob Bakker, world-renowned paleontologist of "Jurassic Park" fame all help put together the prehistoric beginnings of one small town in southeast Iowa. —Dick DeAngelis
