On Wednesday, November 10, 6-8PM, via Zoom, join Cook Memorial Library and Chocorua Lake Conservancy for “Interacting with Wabanaki-Maine History” with Maine-Wabanaki REACH. This program is an interactive experience in which we engage in a story of particular events in the history of 400 years of colonization of Wabanaki people by Europeans in this territory now called the state of Maine. This highly engaging experience requires our full participation in order to genuinely increase our understanding of colonization and what it means for current descendants and future generations; to reflect on what story we are writing for our grandchildren. Maine-Wabanaki REACH says of their workshops, “Today we are creating a community together.  We are not experts; you are not experts. We will learn from the materials we experience together and from what we share with each other about our own experiences and thoughts.”  This is a participatory workshop in which you will be asked to leave your screens on. Space is limited; please register by November 7.

This program is part of “Wabanaki History, Ecology & Experiences,” a series of programs exploring Indigenous history and experiences in what is now called northern New England, a collaboration between the Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth and the Chocorua Lake Conservancy, made possible through a generous grant from The Tamworth Foundation. Please join us next for “Healing Begins with Truth” with Maine-Wabanaki REACH on Wednesday, November 17 at 6PM.
