Live from the Boathouse! Brenda Geer, endawnis Spears and Karyl Evans present: Working with Native Peoples in Connecticut at Connecticut River Museum

Brenda Geer (Eastern Pequot), endawnis Spears (Diné/ Ojibwe/ Chickasaw/ Choctaw) and Karyl Evans have been working together for over four years on a documentary film project titled “Native Peoples of Connecticut” for both public broadcast and for use as a curriculum resource for Connecticut public schools. Project director and filmmaker Karyl Evans has received 2 planning grants from CT Humanities for the documentary and the project team has just completed 15 interviews with citizens from all five state and federally recognized tribes in Connecticut to help develop themes for the script. Join our three speakers to hear advice and lessons learned in working respectfully and productively with the Native people in our state.
