Saturday – Native History in New Hampshire
Presenter: Robert Goodby
Saturday, May 4, 2024
1:30 PM - New Ipswich Library
Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian 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. Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here, inches below the earth’s surface.

Even as late as 1929 we see New Ipswich as a summer retreat for many, especially those with money. Neither James Roger nor his Finnish friends were part members of this group.
