Encounters: Treaty of Hartford
When: Saturday, September 29, 10-12 with lunch following
Where: Courtroom, Old State House
What: The dynamics that led to the Treaty of Hartford, a turning point in American history, are not dead, but live on in our national culture today. In 1638, during the aftermath of a massacre of over 500 Pequot men, women, children, and elders, at Mystic, CT, this document set a precedent for Indigenous and settler relations for generations after. Join us as we discuss how historic documents can reflect our past and shape our present day understanding of land, colonialism, and our future together.
