A few weeks ago four delegates from the Tuscarora Nation came to my public history class to meet with them.
For those of you who do not know, my class has been working on an exhibition and event for the 300 year anniversary of the Battle at Fort Nooherooka. This Nation originated in Eastern NC in present day Greene County, near Snow Hill, NC. This battle was significant because it was 900 Indians killing, capturing, and burring alive 900 Indians. After the battle, the remaining survivors moved to upstate New York, where they still live today.
Anyways, our class worked on several aspects of the battle and their daily life the way it was then and now.
Below is the link to our youtube site where you can see the interview we had with them. Each question or topic has its own video. a HUGE thank you to Danny who worked VERY hard filming the interview, and to get the videos edited for our class.
If you want more information let me know, and a website is coming soon!
