WOLFEBORO — The Wolfeboro Public Library will present “Digging into Native History in New Hampshire,” a New Hampshire Humanities program, with Robert Goodby, professor of Anthropology at Franklin Pierce College on Wednesday, Aug. 10 at 6:30 p.m.
The people now known as Abenaki or Wabanaki have lived in this region for more than 12,000 years. Abenaki history has been reduced to near invisibility because of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the indigenous experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go "underground," concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Professor Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence in this region, inches below the earth's surface. This program is free and open to all.
