"Our 2-week walk from October 15 - 31 “Listening to the Call of the Great Spirit: Facing 400 Years of Colonization Since Mayflower Landing and Walking into the Future”, could not be considered a long walk, but it felt to most of us to be a Walk vast and deep. 2020 was the 5th in a 5-year commitment by the Peace Pagoda to walk this silenced history of violent colonization of the Indigenous Peoples and their Ancestral Lands, in the region now called "New England."
The Nolumbeka Project presents its final installment of the “River Stories 2020: Recovering Indigenous Voices of the Connecticut River Valley” series with a Zoom presentation called “Mashalisque and Frances Crowe – Women and Native Land History” with Ceremonial Stone Landscapes Preservationist Doug Harris and singer/activist Sarah Pirtle from 2 – 4 p.m. Registration information at www.facebook.com/nolumbekaproject and www.nolumbekaproject.org
