The program begins with a seated lecture in the Gillespie Room, followed by a guided talk and walk through Enduring Heart: Native American Long Island. Discover how archaeological practices have shaped our understanding of Native American communities and the challenges that can arise when studying Indigenous histories and cultural heritage.
