Nashobah Praying Indians: A Living People, A Living Landscape (illustrated talk)We live and walk on sacred ground. Littleton, with parts of Acton and Boxborough, was originally the 1654 era Praying Indian Village of Nashobah, a place of spirit and vision. Join Sagamore Strong Bear Medicine of the Nashobah Praying Indians and local historian Daniel V. Boudillion as they present and discuss the Nashobah people, their spirit, their journey of suffering and survival, the village, and the sacred landscape that is all around us.
It has been more than 280 years since Wunnuhhew (Sarah Doublet), the last of the Nashobah Praying Indians that lived in Nashobah, passed away in Acton, and the Plantation was lost. Please welcome Sagamore Strong Bear Medicine as tells her story and the story of all the Nashobah Praying Indians, walking his native land with us and sharing his culture.
Strong Bear Medicine is Sagamore of the Nashobah Praying Indians, and brother of Chief Caring Hands of the Nashobah-Natick-Punkapoag Praying Indians of the Massachusett tribe. He is also the founder of the Friends of the Nashobah Praying Indians. A noted Native performer in the United States and in Europe, Strong bear Medicine is a Native dancer, singer, and craftsman, and public speaker.
Daniel V. Boudillion is an avid historian and author with a wide knowledge of early Nashobah history and the locations associated with them.
