Historic Northampton’s newly launched “Indigenous Histories” (access here on our website) features the scholarship of Dr. Margaret M. Bruchac. The centerpiece is a resource-rich and extended essay titled “From Nonotuck to Northampton: Recovering Indigenous Histories,” which re-examines colonial era encounters between Nonotuck and settlers, offers Indigenous perspectives, and gives readers the tools to better understand the historical record. The website also includes a visual history, maps, links to relevant historical publications and documents, and more.
 
Join Dr. Bruchac for a presentation about her research, followed by a question and answer period.


Dr. Margaret Bruchac is an Associate Professor of Anthropology, Associate Faculty in Cultural Heritage, and Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has long been a performer, ethnographer, historian, and consultant on Native American interpretation for northeastern museums, including Historic Northampton.

Margaret Bruchac's Land Acknowledgement:
This land acknowledgement references the Indigenous peoples on whose traditional territories my academic and personal homes are situated: the Lenape of Lenapehoking (including Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), and the Nonotuck of the Kwinitekw valley (including Northampton, Massachusetts), and their Indigenous kin and neighbors. I acknowledge the continued presence and resilience and sovereignty of Indigenous communities and nations today, and thank the Indigenous people I work with - particularly my Algonkian and Haudenosaunee colleagues - for their good will in our on-going efforts to collaborate in the challenge of decolonizing, recovering, and restoring Indigenous histories, lives, and futures.
