NOT THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS: A HISTORY OF THE STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE COMMUNITY Saturday, October 16, 12-3pm Via Zoom.  Registration Required. Registrants will receive an email with a private Zoom link to this live virtual program before the event. This program will also be broadcasting via Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/clarkartinstitute/live

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.

WAM Theatre presents the US Premiere of KAMLOOPA: An Indigenous Matriarch Story by Kim Senklip Harvey. Learn more at wamtheatre.com. This hilarious transformation story is presented LIVE in a COVID safe production at the Elayne P. Bernstein Theatre at Shakespeare & Company from October 7-24, and streams digitally from November 1-7.

KAMLOOPA is high energy comedy that follows two urban Indigenous sisters and their encounter with a lawless trickster, as they explore what it means to honor who they are and where they come from.
