Professor Christoph Strobel will share case studies, historic sketches, and biographies from throughout New England to explore the story of Native Americans in the region. While this talk will not ignore the horrendous impact that colonization, dispossession, and racism had on the lives of indigenous peoples in New England, the emphasis will be on Native American resistance, adaptation, and survival under often harsh and unfavorable circumstances.
