When James Fenmore 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.
