The Littleton Historical Society is opening a new exhibit in commemoration of the 350 year anniversary of the three months the Nashobah Praying Indians spent interred on Deer Island and Long Island during King Philip’s (Metacom’s) War of 1675-76.

The exhibit will feature timeline and text, pictures and maps, artifacts, and Native handcrafted items.

The exhibit will open on Sunday, February 8, from 2:00 pm through 4:00 pm at the Littleton Historical Society, 4 Rogers Street, Littleton MA 01460.

Both Sagamore Strong Bear Medicine and historian Daniel V. Boudillion will be there for the opening on February 8th, as will Historical Society staff. Strong Bear indicated he will likely have some of his handcrafted Native jewelry with him for sale.

All proceeds of jewelry sales go to the Nashobah Praying Indians charitable organization for community programs such as the yearly Strawberry Moon Powwow.
