The pres‘Zooming’ at Saugus Public Library The Forgotten Nations – Native Tribes of New England presented on Oct. 13 (Editor’s Note: The following is a press release issued this week by the Saugus Public Library) Join us on October 13 at 7 p.m. for a free Zoom program about native tribes of New England. Colonization happened early on in the New England area – as early as 1609 – so many Native Nations and tribal histories were lost. Learn about the Nations that called this land home, where they are now and the thriving communities keeping their histories alive. The program is presented by Heather Bruegl, an Independent Indigenous Consultant and Historian. Bruegl is a citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and a fi rst line descendent of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians. She is the former Director of Education at Forge Project and travels frequently to present on Native American history, including policy and activism. Hosted by Tewksbury Public Library.

He died in 1836 as the archbishop of Bordeaux. Each year, one third of the parishes of the archdiocese are asked to nominate a parishioner, therefore most parishes will have one honoree every three years. The criteria given to pastors is that the nominee should be a lay person who has served the parish well over an extended period of time and has done so in a quiet, unassuming and, perhaps, unrecognized fashion. Deacon Frank has been married to Joanne for 60 years. They have four children, seven grandchildren COUPLE | SEE PAGE 8 AUTOTECH DRIVE IT - PUSH IT - TOW IT! Cold Hard Cash for Your Vehicle!
