October 7, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
Meet Strong Bear Medicine of the Nashobah Praying Indians and local historian Daniel V. Boudillion as they discuss the 1654 Nashobah Praying Indian Village. Topics include the Nashobah People – a vibrant, living community – as well as the living landscape of Native ceremonial structures in Littleton, Acton, and neighboring towns. Co-sponsored with Littleton Historical Society and held at Littleton’s Reuben Hoar Library.
We live and walk on sacred ground. Littleton, with and part of Acton and Boxborough, was originally the Praying Indian Village of Nashobah, a place of spirit and vision. Join Strong Bear Medicine of the Nashobah Praying Indians and local historian Daniel V. Boudillion as they discuss the Nashobah people, their spirit, their journey of survival, the village at Fort Pond, and the sacred landscape of ceremonial stone structures – prayers in stone – that are all around us. Please welcome Strong Bear Medicine as he walks his native land with us and shares his culture. Co-sponsored by the Littleton Historical Society.
Strong Bear Medicine is the brother of Chief Caring Hands of the Natick-Ponkapoag Praying Indians. He is a well-known speaker, Native dancer, performer, and craftsman.
Daniel V. Boudillion is a lifelong Littleton resident. He is a historical writer with a focus on Nashobah-Littleton 1654-1720 and is a ceremonial stone landscape researcher
