Description
Archaeological and documentary evidence prove that different groups of Native Americans lived on Cape Ann from at least the Early Archaic Period, beginning around 8,000 years ago, to some time after European contact. Independent researcher Mary Ellen Lepionka gives a slide lecture illustrating how Native Americans living on Cape Ann prior to 1700 acquired, processed and used raw materials found on Cape Ann to create tools, make art, express beliefs and furnish their ways of life. This program is free for members or with Museum admission.
