A Zoom Presentation by Margaret M. Bruchac

Historic Northampton’s newly launched “Indigenous Histories” website features the scholarship of Dr. Margaret M. Bruchac. The centerpiece is a resource-rich and extended essay titled “From Nonotuck to Northampton: Recovering Indigenous Histories,” which re-examines colonial era encounters between Nonotuck and settlers, offers Indigenous perspectives, and gives readers the tools to better understand the historical record. The website also includes a visual history, maps, links to relevant historical publications and documents, and more.

Join Dr. Bruchac for a presentation about her research, followed by a question and answer period.

Dr. Margaret Bruchac is an Associate Professor of Anthropology, Associate Faculty in Cultural Heritage, and Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has long been a performer, ethnographer, historian, and consultant on Native American interpretation for northeastern museums, including Historic Northampton.
