SUMMARY:Indigenous Identity and King Philip’s War
DESCRIPTION:Authors: Ruth Herndon\, Bowling Green State University; Joanne Jahnke-Wegner\, University of Wisconsin\, Eau Claire\nComment: David Silverman\, George Washington University \n\n\n\nThis panel discusses the cultural and racial identities of Indigenous people during King Philip’s War (1675-76). Ruth Herndon’s paper studies a group of 32 Indigenous children\, raised as “praying Indians”\, who were eventually surrendered to the English at the end of the conflict. This particular group’s binding stresses the children’s association with praying towns and shows how those towns were replaced by individual English households\, where the work of cultural conversion continued under new colonial supervision. Joanne Jahnke-Wegner’s paper examines how the English process of enslaving Indigenous people contributed to their racialization during King Philip’s War. Jahnke-Wegner argues that English colonists used a combination of material and intellectual practices to facilitate and justify enslavement of Indigenous peoples. Colonizers combined martial violence with legal\, biblical\, and cultural discourses\, as well as the logic of the market\, to create a system of enslavement that enabled the English to transform Native trading partners\, political allies\, students\, and Christian converts into servants\, slaves\, commodities\, and racialized others. \nThe Pauline Maier Early American History Seminar invites you to join the conversation. Seminars bring together a diverse group of scholars and interested members of the public to workshop a pre-circulated paper. Learn more. \nPurchasing the $25 seminar subscription gives you advanced access to the seminar papers of all seven seminar series for the current academic year. Subscribe at www.masshist.org/research/seminars. Subscribers for the current year may login to view currently available essays. \nThis is an online event. Register to attend online \n\nThe virtual seminar begins at 5:00 PM and will be hosted on the video conference platform\, Zoom. Registrants will receive a confirmation message with attendance information.

SUMMARY:Nature's Best Hope with Doug Tallamy
DESCRIPTION:Join Lincoln Land Conservation Trust for a virtual evening with Doug Tallamy. \nRecent headlines about global insect declines\, the impending extinction of one million species worldwide\, and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity and will explain why we\, ourselves\, are nature’s best hope. \nThe night’s focus will be on how to create backyard biodiversity in Lincoln and the greater Boston Metro-West area\, connect habitats\, and increase resilience against climate change. All are welcome at this free\, virtual program.  A zoom meeting link will be sent to all registered participants. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/natures-best-hope-with-doug-tallamy-tickets-458452893947 \nDoug Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware\, where he has authored 111 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 41 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His books include Bringing Nature Home\, The Living Landscape\, co-authored with Rick Darke\, Nature’s Best Hope\, a New York Times Best Seller\, The Nature of Oaks\, winner of the American Horticultural Society’s 2022 book award.    In 2021 he cofounded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Join North County Land Trust for a family friendly WINTER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION on December 21\, 2022\, 5:30-7:00pm at the Doyle Community Center in Leominster. \nTogether we will celebrate\, on this longest night of the year\, the return of the sun as the days become longer and lighter again.  The event will include a short hike on the lantern lined trails\, the lighting of your own handmade solstice lanterns\, and reflecting on our goals for the year ahead. \nWe ask that attendees bring their own lanterns to light. These can be paper bag\, mason jar\, or cut paper lanterns\, and candles to light them. Any lantern design is fine with us\, the goal is to celebrate the light! We will also have a few materials on hand to make some for those unable to make a lantern ahead of time. Some tutorials are below or use your creativity to make whatever lantern you like.  We recommend bringing battery operated tea lights but regular tea lights are fine\, too\, at your own comfort. \nPlease park in the designated Doyle Center parking area and gather at the patio area near the facilities.
