The River Before Henry: First Nations, Last Elephants

to

Saratoga Springs Public Library 49 Henry Street, City of Saratoga Springs, New York 12866

The indigenous peoples of the Hudson Valley lost their sense of innocence 413 years ago when Europeans “discovered” the Hudson Valley. The Munsee, Mohicans, Lenape, Haudenosaunee, and others did not realize they were missing. Europeans had little regard for the tribal people they met, after all they lacked a written language, a recognizable religion, and they allowed females too much autonomy. Yet, these tribal people could trace their ancestry back 415 generations. Since 1609, the Hudson Valley has seen less than seventeen. This is the story of their ancestors across millennia, during which time they created homelands, developed new technologies, connected with neighbors near and far, and expanded trade routes, while cultivating a rich cultural heritage and an oral tradition back to the time of the First Nations and Last Elephants. 

No registration required, but seating is limited.
