2010 DEER ISLAND MEMORIAL SACRED RUN & PADDLE:
NIPMUC PERSPECTIVES ON THE SACRED JOURNEY
Nipmuc Sacred Paddlers Pam Ellis, Cheryll Toney Holley, and Troy Phillips and Mashpee Wampanoag/Nipmuc Sacred Runner and Paddler Marcus Hendricks traced the complete land and water route of the forced removal of our ancestors from S. Natick to Deer Island in Boston Harbor in October 1675 through the Sacred Run & Paddle of the 2010 Deer Island Memorial last October. 
These Sacred Paddlers and Runner will show photographs of their journey that included mishoonash, our traditional dugout canoes and will discuss their experiences as part of this sacred journey. This was the first time in over 200 years that mishoonash traveled down the Charles River. The panel will also be joined by Robbie Thorpe, the youngest Sacred Paddler to complete the journey.
Pizza and soft drinks will be provided.
