"Tales of a Forgotten Day:" Myth and Memory at Lover's Leap

Description

Learn about the creation of the “Legend of Weantinaug” – a story associated with the falls at Lover’s Leap State Park in New Milford – and how it has shaped our perceptions about Native people and their place within the landscape. Join Assistant Director and Exhibit Curator Paul Wegner from the Institute for American Indian Studies for an exploration of  the latest archaeological and historical research at this site, as well as projects underway to uncover the accurate indigenous history of the area known to Algonkian-speaking peoples as Metichewan.
