Join us for a special First Friday program featuring Thomas “Spirit Tree” Green, a descendant of the Neponset band of the Massachusett Tribe, who gathered at the praying town of Ponkapoag.

He will share the history and cultural traditions of the Massachusett people, offering an opportunity to learn more about the Indigenous history of our region.
