King Philip's War in the Central Connecticut River Valley with David Brule In-Person
David Brule, project coordinator of the National Park Service Battlefield study of the massacre and counter-attack at the Peskeompskut Falls on May 19, 1676 , will present a program entitled 'King Philip's War in the central Connecticut River Valley 1675-1676'. The King Philips War impacted Native homelands as well as colonial settlements, as Native nations came together to protect their way of life as. The National Park supported project in western Massachusetts explores areas where the conflicts took place to expand the awareness of the significance of the largely unaltered grounds and to preserve Wissantinnewag-Peskeompskut history.
David will share the most recent archaeological findings of this 12-year study, and explore the efforts at healing the multi-generational trauma of these events. Please join us for this poignant historical discussion as we observe Indigenous People's Day this week.
This program is sponsored by the Agawam Center Library Association.
