BNRC presentation - Not the Last of the Mohicans

Greetings all,

We hope this finds you and yours well and enjoying spring happenings. BNRC is delighted to invite our conservation partners for an online presentation titled “Not the Last of the Mohicans” by Heather Bruegl, Director of Cultural Affairs for the Stockbridge-Munsee Community on Thursday, April 15 from 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm.

Heather will share the important history of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans. All of the present-day Berkshires are the homelands of the Mohican people before they were forcefully displaced to Wisconsin. Heather will discuss the tribe’s history here and the traditional ways Native Americans take care of the land, stewarding it for the next seven generations.

Heather Bruegl is a member of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. She is a graduate of Madonna University in Michigan and holds a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in U.S. History. A curiosity of her own heritage led her to Wisconsin, where she has researched the history of the Native American tribes in the area. While Heather calls Michigan home, she has recently moved to Wisconsin and is now the Director of Cultural Affairs for the Stockbridge Munsee Community. In addition to that she also currently travels and speaks on Native American history, including policy and activism.

There will be time dedicated to Q&A after the presentation as well as a follow-up with resources mentioned and the recording of the event.
