Town by Town, Watershed by Watershed: Native Americans in New Hampshire

Donna & John Moody will present Town by Town, Watershed by Watershed: Native Americans in NH. Every town and watershed in New Hampshire has ancient and continuing Native American history. From the recent, late 20th century explosion of local Native population in New Hampshire back to the era of early settlement and the colonial wars, John and Donna Moody explore the history of New Hampshire’s Abenaki and Penacook peoples with a focus on your local community.
