Dear Neighbor,

We, Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Community and Williams College History Department student researchers, are reaching out to the Williamstown community to ask about any knowledge locals may have about Mohican/Indigenous artifacts or sites within Williamstown. 

Please fill out this form should you have any information. A QR code is attached if that is better to use for publication in a community newsletter.

Knowledge gathered from this survey, along with State archaeological records, will help us better map indigenous sites and identify areas where Mohican Nation and the College could partner on future preservation projects.

Knowing this history is deeply important to Stockbridge-Munsee Community and can empower both Williamstown and Stockbridge-Munsee community members to address and reconcile their shared past. We will share this information with the community in a final report next year. 

The deadline to reply is October 31, 2021.

Note: it is not required to donate any known indigenous artifacts; we are simply seeking information about sites. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 
 

All the best, 

Gwyn Chilcoat '24, Hikaru Hayakawa '24, and Jayden Jogwe '24
