The impact of 500 years of colonization on the Abenaki peoples of the Northeast is the topic of a free lecture offered by the Haverhill Public Library via Zoom.
The virtual talk, “People of the Dawnland,” will be offered Tuesday, Nov. 25, from 7-8 p.m. and is part of a series organized by the Groton library.
The speaker is Anne Jennison, a traditional Native American storyteller and historian of European and Abenaki heritage. She will examine how European exploration and colonization of North American affected the Abenaki and Wabanaki of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. She will also share efforts to restore and revitalize traditional arts, culture and language.
