DEI Speaker Series Webinar: INDIGENOUS VOICES FROM THE CONNECTICUT RIVER VALLEY OF MASSACHUSETTS

[Dawne Piers-Gamble]

Hi All,

Please consider registering for Indigenous Voices, Thursday, March 23, 2023, 7:00PM - 8:30P. Thanks, Dawne

Native people have been living here in the Connecticut River Valley of western Massachusetts for more than 10,000 years. This is the homeland of many related First People. They are called the Sokoki, Pocumtuck, Nonotuck, Woronoco, and Agawam… Historically, tribes gathered in this valley to trade, to fish, to plant, to participate in sacred ceremonies, to reunite with family, and perhaps to find a spouse. Much has been written about the last of the Indigenous people in the Northeast...These people are not extinct! Native people had children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Their spirits, their memory, and their descendants are here living among us. Join the AMC DEI Speaker Series Webinar to view "Indigenous Voices" (Produced by Nolumbeka Project in collaboration with Turning Tide Films, Directed by Robbie Leppzer) and discuss their stories with Liz Cold Wind Santana-Kiser an Elder, Council Woman and current Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Chaubunagungamaug Band of Nipmuck Indians and Film Producer Jennifer Lee.
