SUMMARY:Horace Beck Lecture Series - Devils & Giants in New England: The Appropriation of Native Sites by the English Colonists
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 3\, 2019\n6:30 – 7:30 pm\nFree to Public\nRachel Sayet is a Mohegan tribal member who grew up spending time with her elders and working in her tribe’s museum.  She received her Bachelor of Science from Cornell University in Ithaca\, New York.  Rachel later received her master’s degree from Harvard University in anthropology.  Sayet’s thesis was on stories of a culture hero named Moshup\, a giant who is taller than the tallest trees and stays near the ocean catching whales.  Moshup married Granny Squannit who was the leader of the Little People and keeper of plants and medicine\, which ties back to the stories she would hear as a girl.  Moshup exists both in Mohegan and Wampanoag traditions.  These stories represent\, as Rachel’s great-aunt Medicine Woman Gladys Tantaquidgeon so aptly called it\, “The Literature of the Land”. \nHorace Palmer Beck (1920 – 2003) was a folklorist\, sailor\, and professor of American Literature at Middlebury College (VT). He tape recorded the personal experience of men and women associated with the sea on both sides of the Atlantic. Some of his best known books are Folklore of Maine and Folklore of the Sea. He also published articles for The American Neptune\, The Journal of American Folklore\, and other periodicals. The Connecticut River Museum Beck Lecture is supported by an endowment that funds an annual public presentation about history\, folklore\, storytelling\, and regional music and culture. \nPre-Registration is appreciated for this event.

DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 3\, 2019\n5:00 – 8:00 pm\nThis sunset paddle on the Connecticut River will give us a unique opportunity to see one of Natures’ most amazing avian spectacles\, the swirling masses of up to 400\,000 Tree Swallow performing their nightly aerial ballet. Each year in late summer Tree Swallows from all over southern New England begin to amass on the Connecticut River to feed on insects and prepare for their eventual southern migration. Every night through September they collect above the marshes at the mouth of the River and swirl overhead in a massive flock that undulates in choreographed waves and vortices until just after sunset when the whole flock descends like a collapsing tornado into the tall grass marshes to roost for the night. Many people are so awestruck by this phenomenon that they spontaneously burst into applause. Roger Tory Peterson called it the “most amazing avian spectacle” he’d ever witnessed. \nWe meet at the Pilgrim Landing boat launch in Old Lyme\, between 5 and 5:30 to unload canoes and kayaks. After vessels are unloaded we will car pool to the commuter lot one quarter of a mile away because there are only 6 parking spaces at the boat launch. This slight inconvenience is a necessity to ensure everyone’s safety. From the boat launch we will paddle a short distance to Calves Island where we will assemble until everyone has arrived and then we will paddle up river to view the swallows. After the swallows descend into the marsh we will paddle back to the boat launch as a group. This is important because darkness will be approaching. \nCRM vessels are not available for rent for this program as all paddle staff is offsite. \nFree to members\, $8 for non members \nMEMBERS RESERVE HERE! \nNON-MEMBERS RESERVE HERE! \nFor more information\, call 860-767-8269 or go to museum’s website at www.ctrivermuseum.org. \nThe boat launch address is Pilgrim Landing Boat Launch\, Pilgrim Landing Road\, Old Lyme.  Plan to meet there between 5 and 5:30. \nThe Connecticut River Museum is a private\, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the natural and cultural heritage of the Connecticut River and surrounding valley region. \nReservations required.
