Connecticut’s Indigenous People

By |

The Suffield Historical Society will meet Wednesday, October 20, 7 p.m., at the Suffield Senior Center for a program by Dr. Lucianne Lavin. Connecticut’s indigenous communities have rich histories that date back thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans. New England was not the “wilderness” described by early English colonists, but an environment managed to enhance plant and animal populations. Dr. Lavin, Director of Research and Collections at the Institute of American Indian Studies, uses her 40 years in archeology and anthropology to bring folklore and sacred stories of the ancients, who built and managed this landscape, to life. The meeting may change to Zoom.

Paul Kulas entertains with his saxophone during the Suffield Historical Society’s traditional ice cream social on August 17. During a fortunate break in the rainy August weather, a good crowd enjoyed the sociability, the free ice cream and toppings, and the kids frolicking on the grass at the King House Museum.
