What the Wangunk Drank: a history of beverages among the Indigenous people of Wethersfield with Katherine Hermes

This lecture will focus on the various liquids Native people drank, from water to teas to alcohol. We will discuss the importance of the natural environment in providing sustenance and medicine. We will also look at the European introduction of alcohol into Native communities, conflicts with the colonists over alcohol, and temperance movements that emerged in the 18th century among Indigenous people.

This program will be located in the Keeney Center Ballroom. $10 General Public at the door, free to current Wethersfield Historical Society members.

This lecture series is funded by @cthumanities and the Robert Allan Keeney Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
