The Mohican Journey
Homelands, History, and Hope This interactive, multimedia exhibit breaks down the history of the Muhheconneok, the “People of the Waters that are Never Still.” From their ancestral homelands in the Berkshires, to their present home in Wisconsin, their journey is told through the collective lens of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, in collaboration with the Sheffield Historical Society and the Mount Everett Regional School Art Department. The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans have worked for decades in research, preservation, education, and governance to promote equality and programs that strengthen their culture and community heritage. Making connections to their ancestral homelands continues to be of sacred value. The exhibit combines a variety of art forms, artifacts, audio and video elements, including content from Dorothy David’s "A Brief History of the Mohican Nation" as well as many personal narratives. ********************* This exhibit is available to be displayed free of charge in schools, residential facilities, and organizations.
