What does the land reveal about Native people and their place? This online presentation by Stephen SIlliman, professor of archaeology at Mass Boston, and Natasha Gambrell, Eastern Pequot Archeology Field School, explores the findings of the Eastern Pequot reservation field school - evidence in the tenacity of a people determined to live in their place.


In the decades after the devastating Pequot War of 1636-1637, the Eastern Pequot emerged as a distinct Pequot community and secured a reservation in what is now North Stonington, Connecticut, in 1683. They have persisted on this land, one of the oldest reservations in the United States, as a culture, a community, and an Indigenous nation.


This is the last in a five-part series, The Power of Place, organized by the Partnership of Historic Bostons. See our website (or Boston Calendar) to find out more about our upcoming events!
