Dear Friends of the Nashobah Praying Indians,
We have a big announcement today – Strong Bear Medicine is moving to town [Littleton] in July!
He will be living on Nashobah Praying Indian ancestral land in a location that is significant to his people.
It’s been around 300 years since the last known Praying Indian (Sarah Doublet) lived in town on Praying Indian Plantation land. This is a really big deal, not only to Bear and his people, but to the community as well. After all these years, this is an amazing turn of events.
When Strong Bear gets settled in, he will be planning and hosting cultural events in town and the local area, and we expect to see a lot of him, both with this and around town.
I will keep you updated on Nashobah events – you will be the first to know – and on ways we can help the Nashobah as they become part of the community. There are several such things that come to mind, more on this in upcoming updates.
Next week I’ll have an update on the next step of the Nashobah book project, and will be looking for people to help bring it forward. (We need to get the book into the local libraries, historical societies, schools, etc.)
Best wishes!
Dan
