This Friday, February 7th at 7:00 PM at The Left Bank (5 Bank Street, North Bennington), historian Jill Mudgett will tell the story of an Indigenous man from southern New England who came to central Vermont during the late 19th century and was the victim of a murder. Recreating community connections in a rural Vermont hill town, this story is about poverty, racism, disability and gendered violence against women, but is also an account of Indigenous movement and choice despite great obstacles.

This Vermont Humanities Council Speakers' Bureau event is hosted by the John G. McCullough Free Library and is sponsored in part by the Friends of Robert Frost. It is free, open to the public and accessible to those with mobility challenges. Refreshments will be served. One lucky attendee will win a sturdy canvas McCullough Library tote bag.
