Author And Lecturer
Summary: In 2015 we have seen, and will continue to
see a lot of attention on the historic persona of Samuel de Champlain, as part
of the 400th year commemoration of his trip to Ontario. Efforts are being made
to look at the other side of the trip, the Wendat side. One way of doing that
is learning about Atironta (‘he draws or attracts’), the Rock nation leader
with whom Champlain stayed. There is a great deal of story to tell. In this
presentation I will talk both about the individual, and about the history and significance
about his name
Meetings
are open to the public at no charge.
Please note that Midland
Public Library has graciously offered
their Assembly Room on the lower floor for this event.
