Greenfield Senior Symposium: "Occupying Massachusetts: Layers of History on Indigenous Land"
Greenfield Senior Symposium: "Occupying Massachusetts: Layers of History on Indigenous Land"
Sandra Matthews and David Brule will share their newly published book on local indigenous history. Matthews' haunting photographs (largely taken in Massachusetts) reveal structural and historical markers that suggest histories embedded in the landscape which have been previously ignored or misread. David Brule will discuss how and what such markers reveal about early relations between indigenous peoples and the mostly English early settlers. Both images and text raise the questions: What do we mean by "home," "settlement," and "nation?" How does our sense of our history change over time?
