The Morrill Memorial Library is partnering with Tewksbury Public Library and other Massachusetts public libraries to host local author and historian Christoph Strobel, who will present a talk titled "The Indigenous Old World: An Exploration of Pre-Colombian North  America," on Wednesday, August 21 at 7:00pm on Zoom.

Explore the worlds of the Indigenous peoples of North America before European colonization. North America was a place filled with cities, towns, and villages. Across the continent, Indigenous peoples produced architecture and monumental construction. The ancient and medieval communities of North America were fed by agriculture. Moreover, Indigenous Americans actively managed their environment and participated in long distance exchange networks. This talk will be led by Christoph Strobel, Department Chair and Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He is the author of War and Colonization in the Early American Northeast; Native Americans of New England; and The Global Atlantic: 1400 to 1900. He has published many other books and academic papers.
