Native Americans of New England: History, Colonial Legacies, and Survival

Date: Thursday, June 1

Time: 7:00 PM

Explore the history of Native Americans in New England. While we will not turn a blind eye to the impact that colonization, dispossession, and racism had on the story of Indigenous peoples in the region, we will also explore Native American resistance, adaptation, and survival under often harsh and unfavorable circumstances. Moreover, we will examine some of the colonial legacies that still shape the views and (mis-) perceptions about Indigenous peoples to this day. Led by Christoph Strobel, a Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

Trivia Night -- PRIDE Month

Date: Friday, June 9

Time: 7:00 PM

Join us on Zoom to test your knowledge! This month, we will be celebrating PRIDE Month with questions involving LGBTQIA+ history and culture. Play solo or organize a team! For security purposes, participants' videos will be disabled, so no need to worry about having a working webcam to play. The ability to view slides on a screen is all you need for this fantastic trivia fun! Please note that trivia questions are geared towards adults in terms of difficulty.

There is a 40-team limit with a 5-team wait list.
