The Friends of Madison Library hosts a New Hampshire Humanities program, Digging into Native History in New Hampshire, presented by Robert Goodby on Thursday, April 22 at 7 pm via Zoom.

April 22 Digging into Native History in NH – PROGRAM REGISTRATION After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go “underground,” concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here, inches below the earth’s surface.

Robert Goodby is a professor of Anthropology at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge. He holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from Brown University and has spent the last thirty years studying Native American archaeological sites in New England. He is a past president of the New Hampshire Archeological Society, a former Trustee of the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner, and served on the New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs. In 2010, he directed the excavations of four 12,000 year-old Paleoindian dwelling sites at the Tenant Swamp site in Keene.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Toulane is truly beautiful.

The novelist Ann Patchett doesn’t have children and didn’t read middle-grade books. Then she picked up one by Kate DiCamillo and couldn’t stop until she’d read them all.
