Stories In Stone
Native people have been shaping stone to purpose for thousands of years. It’s no wonder that they adapted this skill to meet the needs of colonists to survive in a changing world. For generations, Narragansett stone masons have continued to transform the trade of masonry into an art form, creating beautiful, unique works of art in stone. Join us for a viewing of the film ’Stories In Stone’ followed by a presentation.

In February, we will be presenting…
GENERATIONS RISING: RECOVERING LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
Forced assimilation and the violence of settler colonialism were cataclysmic to the use and preservation of Indigenous languages. Concerted efforts were directly aimed at severing the sacred thread of interconnectedness between spoken word and culture. Nevertheless, Indigenous languages have persevered, but not without significant challenges.
This presentation explores the continuance, recovery, and celebration of ancestral languages and the creative ways Indigenous people are keeping these cultural traditions alive.
