New Light on Saratoga’s Indigenous Past

Join us Tuesday, July 12 at 7pm for  New Light on Saratoga’s Indigenous Past. Professor Karim Tiro, of Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH is completing a study commissioned by the National Park Service to better understand Saratoga’s Native past. He will share findings about Saratoga’s origins as a fishing station and religious mission; the Oneida refugees at Wilton during the American Revolution; and Atiatoharongwen, a Saratoga-born Mohawk man of Black and Abenaki parentage whom Washington referred to as a friend.  Dr. Tiro is a historian specializing in North America from the16th through the 19th centuries. His publications include The People of the Standing Stone: The Oneida Nation from the Revolution through the Era of Removal and Along the Hudson and Mohawk: The 1790 Journey of Count Paolo Andreani. This is an in-person event that will take place at Brookside Museum.
