Heather Bruegl and the Original New Yorkers: An Indigenous History of Land

The New York that you know today wasn’t always this way. Learn about those who inhabited the land before colonization. Discover more about the place that Native Nations called home. Join us for a discussion about the original New Yorkers with public historian Heather Breugl. Heather is a citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and first-line descendant Stockbridge Munsee. She is an activist, and independent consultant who works with institutions and organizations for Indigenous sovereignty and collective liberation. She is currently a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. There she is studying First Nations Education with a focus on creating inclusive historical narratives for teaching. The talk is FREE but registration is requested.
