Digging for Native American History in the Monadnock Region

A two-part free series on southern New Hampshire Native American history and survival is being presented in April as part of the year-long celebration of Jaffrey’s 250th anniversary.

On Thursday, April 6, Franklin Pierce University anthropolgy professor, Robert Goody, will present “Digging for Native American History in the Monadnock Region,” sponsored by the Jaffrey Conservation Commission.

Goody, the author of “A Deep Presence: 13,000 Years of Native American History,” will examine Abenaki history in the Monadnock region based on 30 years of archaelogical fieldwork along the written histories and Abenaki traditions. The program will be held at the Jaffrey Civic Center, 40 Main Street, and starts at 6:30 p.m.
