Nashobah Praying Indian / Deer Island Commemoration Exhibit at the Littleton Historical Society

A message from Dan Boudillion and the Friends of the Nashobah Praying Indians about an upcoming event that may be of interest to many:

Nashobah Praying Indians / Deer Island Commemoration Exhibit at the Littleton Historical Society

Dear Friends of the Nashobah Praying Indians,

I am pleased to announce that the Littleton Historical Society is opening a new exhibit in commemoration of the 350 year anniversary of the three months the Nashobah Praying Indians spent interred on Deer Island and Long Island during King Philip’s (Metacom’s) War of 1675-76. 

The exhibit will feature timeline and text, pictures and maps, artifacts, and Native handcrafted items. 

The exhibit will open on Sunday, February 8, from 2:00 pm through 4:00 pm. 

Both Sagamore Strong Bear Medicine and I will be there for the opening on February 8th, as will Historical Society staff.  Strong Bear indicated he will likely have some of his handcrafted Native jewelry with him for sale. 

(All proceeds of jewelry sales go to the Nashobah Praying Indians charitable organization for community programs such as the yearly Strawberry Moon Powwow.)

Also, we will be holding a public 350 year anniversary commemoration of the Deer Island internment on Saturday, May 16.  (Details on this to follow.)

For anyone at the Harvard Warner Free Lecture talk last Friday, there will be plenty of Nashobah books on hand for sale at the exhibit February 8^th. (All proceeds go to the Nashobah Praying Indians charitable organization.)

Time & Location of exhibit opening:

Sunday, February 8, from 2:00 pm through 4:00 pm

Chief Quiet Storm: Native Stewardship of Mother Earth

[From Friends of Pinehawk in Acton MA]  CANCELED

If you missed Nashobah Praying Grand Indian Chief Quiet Storm in the Friends of Pine Hawk Fall Series, there is another opportunity to hear Native Stewardship of Mother Earth in Littleton this Saturday, January 10. 

Chief Quiet Storm will share how we as a community can be good stewards of the land in all spaces. She will also highlight how we can better support the pollinators and biodiversity that we rely on to sustain our life on Mother Earth. 

Chief Quiet Storm's talk was of such interest that the Littleton Conservation Trust is hosting her Saturday, January 10, at 3 PM at The Center, 33 Shattuck St, in Littleton.  

Best wishes to all for the New Year!
