The Clark – Not the Last of the Mohicans, A History of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community

When James Fenimore Cooper wrote “Last of the Mohicans” he created a narrative that has lasted centuries. But it was a false narrative. The Mohican Nation is alive and well today with a rich history that spans before colonization – the land that today we call Williamstown is part of their ancestral homelands. Join Heather Bruegl, Director of Education at Forge Project, to learn about who the Stockbridge-Munsee Community is and how they are not the Last of the Mohicans.
