Ideas and Their Peoples: A Conversation on Transcendentalism and Contemporary Life
A roundtable on "Intellectual Cultures of the Native Northeast," part of a new series of Concord conversations on Transcendentalism, asks how Indigenous thinkers such as the Mohegan-Brothertown minister Samson Occom shaped New England's history of ideas. Ryan Carr of Columbia, the Aquinnah Wampanoag historian Linda Coombs, the Oregon philosopher Scott Pratt and Amherst's Kiara Vigil take part; John Kucich of Bridgewater, co-president of the Thoreau Alliance, moderates.
