SUMMARY:Webinar - Immigration Policy’s Harmful Impacts on Children

DESCRIPTION:Granite State Organizing Project – Active Bystander Training \nIn a time when people are quicker to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them”\, many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger. \nThis two-hour training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. In this highly interactive session we present information\, share experiences\, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations. Participants will learn about roles we all play\, what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing\, how to move through this resistance\, tools to use when we are ready\, and basic principles to guide our actions. Please join us!

SUMMARY:Bow - 12\,000 Years Ago in the Granite State
DESCRIPTION:The native Abenaki people played a central role in the history of the Monadnock region\, defending it against  English settlement and forcing the abandonment of Keene and other Monadnock area towns during the French and Indian Wars. Despite this\, little is known about the Abenaki\, and conventional histories often depict the first Europeans entering an untamed\, uninhabited wilderness\, rather than the homeland of people who had been there for hundreds of generations. Robert Goodby discusses how the real depth of Native history was revealed when an archaeological study prior to construction of the new Keene Middle School discovered traces of four structures dating to the end of the Ice Age. Undisturbed  for 12\,000 years\, the site revealed information about the economy\, gender roles\, and household organization of the Granite State’s very first inhabitants\, as well as evidence of social networks that extended for hundreds of miles across northern New England.

SUMMARY:Hudson - Songs of Emigration: Storytelling through Traditional Irish Music
DESCRIPTION:Through traditional music Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki relays some of the adventures\, misadventures\, and emotions experienced by Irish emigrants. The focus is on songs about leaving Ireland\, sometimes focusing on the reasons for leaving (a man who is driven from his land by English persecution); sometimes revealing what happened upon arrival (an immigrant drafted into the Union army during the Civil War); and sometimes exploring the universal feeling of homesickness of a stranger in a strange land (a factory worker in London missing his home in County Clare). The presenter discusses the historical context of these songs\, interspersing their stories with tunes from Ireland that made their way into New England’s musical repertoire\, played on his fiddle or guitar.
