Howes Cave, NY - The roles and perspectives of Native Americans during the Revolutionary War are often overlooked. Thousands of Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), including Queen Catharine Montour, a leader of her people, were swept up into this tsunami for freedom. Come hear the story of this unsung heroine and her people by a writer who answered the call to tell it. Author Cynthia G. Neale will be joined by Knowledge Keeper Jaime Montour, who will share her unique perspective as a descendant of Catharine Montour. Please join us as author and descendant discuss their storytelling journey for truth and healing. Included in Museum admission.
