Indigenous Americans in the Beverly Area
Jan 18, 2023 7:30 AM
Join scholar and anthropologist Mary Ellen Lepionka to learn about the history of the land now known as Beverly, MA. As Lepionka describes, The people living where Montserrat is now were the Pawtucket of Nahumkeak. They welcomed the “Old Planters” of Salem Village, today’s Beverly, and lived peaceably side by side with them during the first 50 years of English settlement. During the 18th and 19th centuries, however, their sites, history, homeland, and very identity were “erased.” Mary Ellen Lepionka of Gloucester is an independent scholar researching the history of Cape Ann from the last Ice Age to around 1700 for a book on the subject. Some chapters have been published at CapeAnnHistory.org Mary Ellen’s interest in local indigenous history and culture was sparked by Samuel de Champlain’s 1606 map of Le Beauport (Gloucester) showing a wigwam on her street. Mary Ellen is a retired college instructor, textbook developer, author, and publisher with a Master’s degree in anthropology from Boston University and post-graduate work at the University of British Columbia. She taught anthropology and world history at Boston University, Vancouver City College, Northeastern University, North Shore Community College, and Salem State College. Articles by Mary Ellen appear in the Bulletin of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society and the local history blogs Enduring Gloucester and Historic Ipswich. |

David McKechnie is a Gloucester Rotarian, and he would like to come and speak about their international project at a school in Rwanda and see if some other clubs would like to piggyback with them to get a big project underway. . David is very involved with the school personally (he and his wife along with 4 other Valmark Securities offices raised $25,000.00 to buy property to build a school on a hill in Rwanda). They have continued to support the school with additional buildings and projects and now they are building a medical clinic near the school to support the school and surrounding area and seeking support for a much-needed generator. David just visited the school in the Spring of 2022. We have lots of pictures and videos we could share.
