Part of Bayside Historical Society's Author Talk at the Castle Series

Cost: $10.00 for BHS members; $15.00 for non-members

The Bayside Historical Society is honored to welcome back Donna Gentle Spirit Barron, family historian and genealogist for the Matinecock Tribal Nation and published author of five books on her family’s Native history. The Matinecock were part of the Algonquin Nation and one of the thirteen original Native American tribes of Long Island. Donna has previously hosted American Indian crafting workshops and author talks at The Castle, provided research material for BHS exhibits, and worked with Bayside Historical Society to create the historic co-naming of the northeast corner of Northern Boulevard and Marathon Parkway in Little Neck in 2015.

On May 14, Donna will sit down with Paul DiBenedetto, BHS Vice President of Buildings, for an engaging conversation about her family's nine generations living in Little Neck and the Matinecock settlements in Bayside and northeast Queens. Join us to learn about the Native American communities who lived here in the past — and who are still here today.
