Bitter Farewell: The Catskill Indian Experience in the American Revolution
The American Revolution was a time of major upheaval for Native communities in the Hudson Valley. The destruction of war would ultimately force them out of their ancestral homelands. This presentation tells the dramatic story of Greene County’s Catskill Indian residents and their neighbors during this turbulent period by weaving together an array of archival sources and little-known oral histories.
Speaker Bio:
A life-long resident of the Hudson Valley and Catskills, Justin Wexler has dedicated his life to learning everything he can about the lives, land management practices and ethnoecology of the region’s original human inhabitants. He has a BA in history and anthropology from Marlboro College and an MA in teaching history from Bard College. Through his organization, Wild Hudson Valley, he works tirelessly to connect the area’s current residents to regional natural history through guided walks, boat tours, presentations and workshops.
