OUTREACH PROGRAMS
When you cannot come to the Museum, our programs come to you! These live educator–led programs challenge commonly held ideas about Pequot’s and their cultural preservation. Programs include a 30 minute Q&A.
The Program: The Pequot Story: Celebrating Heritage Our traveling programs bring an educator with a variety of hands-on objects, photographs, and materials to illustrate Pequot lives and activities as they changed over time beginning with a look at a 16th-century coastal village. Participants learn how the arrival of Europeans brought dramatic changes and explore the similarities and differences of Pequot people today. The program includes a Native perspective which did not change over time—the importance of respecting Mother Earth—because the way we care for the environment today impacts upon our children for generations to come.
