Indian Point
Above are various replicas of
pendants that would have been worn on necklaces by the Beothuk. They may have a religious
significance or they may be just for decoration.
At Indian Point you can go for a swim, hike around the beach, have a picnic or just soak in the sun and beautiful scenery.

Indian Point is located on the shores of
the red Indian Lake approximately 3 Km from the town of Millertown. In 1969, a group of Archeologists under contract by
the National Museum of Canada begin
excavation at the site. In 1970 funding
again was obtained to further more
research for a second season on site.
Objects recovered at different locations
along Red Indian Lake are located at the Rooms in St.Johns Newfoundland
