"Colonization and the Wampanoag Story" Book Group
Join the Aquinnah Cultural Center and Stillpoint in a series of conversations and activities tied to Linda Coombs's book, Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. Participants will engage in intergenerational dialogue around the topics and themes of the book, and finish by engaging in activities tied to the reading.
There are two groups being offered, one in July (Group A) and one in August (Group B). Select the one for which you and your family can commit to attending all of the sessions. We recommend that participants either read the book beforehand, or be in the process of reading it during the month of their sessions.
