While we often hear maritime museums are THE place to tell multiracial stories and that it’s natural to tell stories of integration and freedom through maritime museums because of the inclusive nature of 19th century maritime industries\, we can’t start there. We cannot just dive into telling the stories of mariners of color or Indigenous whalers without a thorough study of their maritime histories before “America.” \nWe have a responsibility to rethink historical narratives and foreground marginalized voices. In the Dawnland (New England)\, these complex narratives involve the relationship of the sea to colonialism\, dispossession and racialized slavery\, but maritime cultures also functioned to maintain in cultural continuity\, perseverance\, resistance and agency within Black and Indigenous communities up to the present. \nDr. Akeia de Barros Gomes is the Senior Curator of Maritime Social Histories at Mystic Seaport Museum\, she is the Director of the Frank C. Munson Institute of American Maritime Studies\, and is a Visiting Scholar at Brown University’s Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice. Akeia is responsible for working on curatorial projects of race\, Indigenous histories\, ethnicity and diversity in New England’s Maritime activities.  She is lead curator for the 2024 Mystic Seaport exhibition\, Entwined: The Sea\, Sovereignty and Freedom\, a multi-year Mellon Foundation-funded project that reimagines the history of the founding and development of New England through Indigenous\, African\, and African American maritime narratives. Dr. de Barros Gomes has engaged in archaeological fieldwork on the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Reservation in Mashantucket\, CT; in the US Virgin Islands and in Newport\, RI.  She has engaged in Anthropological fieldwork in the US Virgin Islands\, in Benin\, and in New Orleans. Akeia was professor of American Studies and Professor of Psychology and Human Development at Wheelock College from 2008 to 2017. She was Curator of Social History at the New Bedford Whaling Museum from 2017 to 2021 before taking her position at Mystic Seaport Museum. \nImage Courtesy of Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes \nCRM Talks 2023:\nFebruary 23\, 2023: Elizabeth Normen\, Venture Smith\nMarch 21\, 2023: Steve Taylor\, Connecticut Valley Agriculture: A Continuum of Change\nApril 18\, 2023: Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes\, Maritime History: Indigenous & African American\nMay 17\, 2023: Michaelle Pearson and Jim Lampos: Remarkable Women of Old Lyme \n  \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this webinar\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience.
