SUMMARY:NHS Virtual Winter Lecture Series -  Emma Baker’s Place: A Mohegan Woman Standing for Her People and the Land
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Connecticut League of History Organization\, the Norwich Historical Society is sponsoring a free virtual winter lecture series based on topics from our Walk Norwich Trail system. The four-part lecture series is free and open to the public. The lectures will be recorded and available on our website and social media platforms for on-demand viewing. \nThe third lecture in our virtual winter lecture series will focus on topics from the Uncas Leap Trail. Christine DeLucia\, Assistant Professor of History at Williams College\, and Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel\, Tribal Historian and Medicine Woman of the Mohegan Nation\, will present their lecture titled: Emma Baker’s Place: A Mohegan Woman Standing for Her People and the Land \nAn inductee into the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame\, Emma Baker took on political causes in a time when non-Native women were not allowed to vote. This talk explores how Baker laid the groundwork for future tribal rights and women’s rights\, with her long-term visions and actions. This presentation offers new understandings of how women\, gender roles\, and Indigenous histories–as included in the recent Uncas Leap Trail Project–enrich all of our relationships to the land we call home. \nThe lecture will be held Thursday March 25\, 2021 at 3:00pm via Zoom. The lecture is free and open to the public\, but pre-registration is required.  \nThis webinar is offered in collaboration with the Connecticut League of History Organizations.
