What Is My Place? Indigenous Story Layers at Northfield Mount Hermon

Presented as part of a professional development session on April 13, 2021 with faculty at Northfield Mount Hermon School, in answer to the workshop question "What is my place?" With panelists including Tom Wessels, Thomas Easley, Q.M. Zhang (Kimberly Chang), and myself (Rich Holschuh), I was asked to discuss relationships with the school's place in Sokwakik tali Kwenitegok (now Gill, MA), through an Indigenous lens. The day's well-received events were adroitly organized by Becca Malloy, NMH's Director of Sustainability and member of the Biology faculty.
