Greetings from the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Historic Preservation Manager

Stockbridge-Munsee Community is looking forward to re-opening our “Mohican Miles” exhibit this month at the Mission House Museum in Stockbridge, MA. This year we have expanded our exhibit to include a Mohican medicine garden, a medicine preparation area, and residencies of Tribal members coming out to offer on-site workshops. I wanted to share the dates and registration info for these “Mohican Miles” Community-led Workshops:

Saturday June 18 and Sunday June 19th 11:00am – 12:00pm

MEDICINE WALK

Misty Cook, Mohican herbalist, and author of the book “Medicine Generations,” will provide an interactive Medicine Walk at the Mission House for participants. We will walk through the grounds and talk about all of the traditional medicines growing in the garden and their preparation, answering questions along the way.

Saturday June 25 and Sunday June 26 11:00am – 12:00pm

PLANTING SEEDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY

Lucille Burr, traditional teacher, operates Ancient Roots Homestead in Bowler, Wisconsin. She works to connect her community, Stockbridge-Munsee Community, to ancestral knowledge of Indigenous ways of life. In this child-friendly workshop, Lucy will share seed keeping and plant knowledge. Participants will “make and take” a seed cup home from the workshop.

Free of charge thanks to our partners: Stockbridge-Munsee Community, the Trustees, and Housatonic Heritage.

Please register and share with others!

Hope to see you there.

Oneewe,

Bonney

Stockbridge Updates: Format

SU is attempting to present a consistent format for readers. SU begins with its Table of Contents. The SU Editorial is next and then the News. News is divided between one-time events, such as the election and events around town, and recurring reporting, such as the Notes from… section. It is called Notes from… because SU attends the town meetings, takes notes, and reports what happened. If SU has a comment or question, it is at the end of the meeting identified as Editor’s Comment or Editor’s Question. The next section is Contributors. Under contributors, you may find Stockbridge history, opinion pieces, or information from a Committee Chair or elected official. Our final section is Reader to Reader, our letter section. The issue closes with the SU Statement of Purpose and Policy for Contributors. We welcome all letter writers and contributors; deadline on the 10th for the issue posted on the 15th of the month and on the 26th for the issue posted on the first.

Your Submissions Welcome!

Submit comments, opinion pieces, and letters to the editor to carole@stockbridgeupdates.com
