On Tuesday, November 9th, 2021 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom and streamed to the Kingsley Room, join us in honor of Native American Heritage Month for a talk about Connecticut’s indigenous communities.
Join us for a presentation about the history and cultures of Connecticut’s indigenous communities. Connecticut’s indigenous communities have a long rich history, and have survived European diseases, war, land losses, poverty, and discrimination. Yet still, their communities remain a vibrant part of Connecticut life today.
