Connecticut's Indigenous Communities: An Introduction (Online)

Tuesday, November 10th, 2026
6:30pm – 8:00pm

Eastern North America was not a “howling wilderness” as described by the early English settlers. It was a built landscape, managed by the first settlers of the land, its Indigenous peoples. Indigenous communities have long, rich histories that extend back to when they shared Mother Earth with mastodons and other extinct animals. Through those thousands of years, Native Americans became experts in their natural environments, a necessity for their physical survival as well as their spiritual obligation. 

Registration required. A Zoom link will be emailed one hour prior to the start of the program.
