It Doesn't End

Clash Of Cultures From Ancient Times To Today

This has become an Indian summer — not the unusually warm weather that arrives in the midst of a cold autumn, but a season of renewed interest in the history of indigenous people. First, there was the Bristol Historical Society talk by Richard Lobban Jr. on the early history of the Native Americans, up to the time the European settlers arrived; then comes the new book by Rudy VanVeghten on the history of conflict between the native tribes, between the Indians and the settlers, and between the Europeans themselves; and now we also have reflections from Wayne King, whose grandfather’s parents were Native American: His mother an Abenaki and his father an Iroquois.
