Event Details

Perry Ground, member of Onondaga Turtle Clan, traditional storyteller and cultural educator, will be live on Zoom with a lively presentation of the history of this misunderstood holiday. Based on the only primary source document that chronicles the “First Thanksgiving”, participants will learn accurate and culturally appropriate information about the English settlers at Plymouth and the Wampanoag, the Native people who inhabited that area. The presentation will discuss the actual events of 1621 in Plymouth and the relationship between the English settlers and the Wampanoag. 

Register for Zoom link beginning Nov. 4.

This program is hosted by the Huntington Library and presented in partnership with the public libraries in the Town of Huntington.
