ELLSWORTH MILLER MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES Many thanks to Bill Danielson for his lecture on October 10th—“Chebeague Weather: Past, Present, and Future.” Bill explained how the weather and the island have changed over the centuries. Our next lecture will be via ZOOM only and will feature Dwayne Tomah, a teacher of the Passamaquoddy language and culture. Dwayne’s lecture will be "The Doctrine of Discovery" - a story of historical truth, spirituality, and resistance, told on behalf of the original nations and peoples. Dwayne is the youngest fluent speaker of the Passamaquoddy Tribe and has served on the Tribal Council. He is currently working with the Library of Congress on translating the Passa maquoddy Wax Cylinders. These recordings are the first recordings in the world of Native languages. They were record ed in 1890 by Jesse Walter Fewkes, who borrowed the device from the inventor Thomas Edison. You can join us on November 14th at 7 PM by going to zoom.us and selecting Join a Meeting. Meeting ID is 829 6247 6056. No password is required.
