Andrew Lipman: “The Death and Life of Squanto”

On Wednesday, June 16, 5 PM, Andrew Lipman will present “The Death and Life of Squanto”.

Months after the so-called “First Thanksgiving,” the Wampanoag man known as Tisquantum, or Squanto, faced a steep fall from grace, as his fellow Natives accused him of making a dangerous plot. In the midst of this scandal, he died suddenly, but not before making a surprising deathbed confession. This talk explores Tisquantum’s strange death and his extraordinary life, proposing new answers to the enduring mysteries that surround him.
