The Lake Country: Documenting Five Centuries of Indigenous History in the Helderbergs

Centuries ago, local Native families traveled, hunted, fished and camped in a high elevation district they called Mbeesuk (At the Lakes), the area known today as the Helderberg Hilltowns. Historic documentation is scarce, but careful analysis of what is available can tell us much about a nearly-vanished world. Join us for this presentation at the Wyman Osterhout Community Center sponsored by the New Scotland Historical Association on a little-known topic and get a glimpse of the Hilltowns in the era before Euro-American settlement.
