Beyond the Mayflower & 1620: Native Americans of New England

christoph strobel
Thursday, November 4, 2021 - 7:00pm

A recording of this program is available here. A copy of the resources shared in the chat is available here.

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.

Christoph Strobel is Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he teaches various courses in global and Native American history. His most recent book is Native Americans of New England. He is also the author of The Global Atlantic: 1400–1900, The Testing Grounds of Modern Empire, and, co-author with Alice Nash, of Daily Life of Native Americans from Post-Columbian through Nineteenth-Century America. Christoph has also published three books on immigration and his scholarly essays appear in many academic journals and in various edited collections.

This program, hosted by Chelmsford Public Library, is presented in partnership with libraries in Andover (including Courageous Conversations), Boxford, Dracut, Lowell, Rowley, West Newbury and Wilmington.
