Hear the story of the Pequawket Indians and British regulars and their trading practices at truck houses in York County and New Hampshire. This program will help introduce participants to the cultural origins of customs and beliefs; the chronology of major events and people in Maine history; the cultural backgrounds of the peoples and groups involved in the trade; examples of cultural conflict and cooperation; how cultures differ in their use of similar environments; and how different ways of knowing and believing have influenced human history. Participants will learn about each culture in groups and then come together to role-play trading in 18th-century Southern Maine.
