Presenter: David McKay Wilson
Community Room, 3rd floor

Join Journal News columnist David McKay Wilson for a community conversation on the Hudson Valley’s indigenous people and the issue of the Indian mascot in the Mahopac schools. Wilson will discuss the history of the Wappinger tribe in the region, the scholarly research on the impact Native American-themed mascots have on Native American youths, and the national movement that has led to the retirement of such mascots at high schools, colleges, and professional sports teams.

Registration is required.
