On November 19th, 2019, the Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences hosted a special lecture at Norwich University entitled “Reframing Early History: King Philip’s War and the Abenaki Nation.” Lisa Brooks, a Professor of English and American Studies at Amherst College in Massachusetts delivered the lecture.
Before the lecture, VAAS board members and guests were invited to gather with Sullivan Museum staff and Lisa Brooks to enjoy a dinner of venison, trout, succotash, and other seasonal and First Peoples-inspired dishes to celebrate the event.
