LACONIA — In 1929, Grand Chief Sachem Silverstar visited a second grade classroom and delivered a message that transformed the life of young Charles Thompson. The chief emphasized the uniqueness of each individual and his or her interconnectedness to all other life.
He told the children that within each of them was a special power, a talent, which could make the world a better place. He said he hoped to hear someday how each child had made a positive difference.
Denise Hoffman will tell the story of how Chief Silverstar’s words led to Thompson’s development of the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner. The free lecture is Monday, Feb. 4, at 6:30 p.m. in Taylor Community’s Woodside Building and is open to the public.
