Place of the Lake: Documenting Five Centuries of Indigenous History in the Helderbergs

Centuries ago, local Native families traveled, hunted, fished and camped in a high elevation district they called Mbeesuk (Lake-Place), the area known today as the Helderberg Hilltowns. Historic documentation is scarce, but careful analysis of what is available can tell us much about a nearly-vanished world. Join us for this presentation at the Wyman Osterhout Community Center sponsored by the New Scotland Historical Association on a little-known topic and get a glimpse of the Hilltowns in the era before Euro-American settlement.
