On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, stop by the Durham Historical Association’s Museum to see their Abenaki exhibit of early stone tools found in this area.

Join the family fun and make a traditional craft in celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day. This workshop is part of the Durham Library’s Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) Saturday programming. Location: Storytime Room.

This PBS documentary begins with the uneasy alliance between Massasoit, sachem of the Wampanoags of New England, and the Pilgrim settlers whose early survival depended on the Wampanoag’s help.

Relatively little is known about the early Abenaki, and conventional histories often depict the first Europeans entering an untamed, uninhabited wilderness, rather than the homeland of people who had been there for hundreds of generations.

What traditions do contemporary Indians still practice? How do you know if you’re an Indian? How do native people see the Durham Post Office mural? Come meet members of New Hampshire’s Indigenous community and ask them anything.

Garrett Chapman, UNH administrator and member of the Mohegan tribe of Uncisville, CT, will present a traditional basket weaving workshop. Participants will learn to weave and take home a traditional reed basket. Registration is required. Limit 20 participants. Ages 10+ .
