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 8th. (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
