In this talk\, Kevin Smith will share what we learned from working with the community and how it helps to illuminate 13\,000+ years of life in the area that is today called Little Compton. \n  \nA museum professional for more than 40 years\, Kevin coordinated research and managed global anthropological and archaeological collections at the Buffalo Museum of Science and at Brown University’s Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. He curated and co-curated more than 50 exhibitions there; has contributed to exhibition design\, planning\, and content creation at the National Museum of Iceland; and is engaged in interdisciplinary research projects in Canada and across the North Atlantic.

SUMMARY:Sakonnet Mishoon Artist’s Residency
DESCRIPTION:Master mishoon maker Jonathan James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) joined us in an artist’s residency this past September. He led a team of Wampanoag artisans and paddlers in the making of a Wampanoag mishoon (dugout canoe) at LCHS\, which is located on the traditional homelands of the Sakonnet Wampanoag people. Jonathan and his team then conducted a Reconnecting Ceremony and launched the mishoon near Squant Rock\, a sacred Wampanoag site\, at Sakonnet Point\, and paddled the mishoon on the Sakonnet River. In this talk\, Jonathan will share his personal insights about the project.  \n\n\n\nTraditional singer\, dancer\, speaker and carver\, Jonathan James-Perry is grounded in the traditions of his ocean-going ancestors. He considers designs by examining the raw materials closely\, and draws his images from the grain\, hues\, and patina of wood\, stone\, and copper. Jonathan enjoys using the materials and knowledge handed down from his ancestors to express his understanding of the natural world as well as the changes over time since Creation. His mentors\, like the late Nanepashemet (Tony Pollard) of the Wampanoag Nation\, have taught him to observe and take special care when handling these materials\, and breathing life into his pieces of art. Jonathan’s work embodies the refined quality of those of his ancestors\, while still drawing upon his experience in a contemporary society. His pieces reflect balance within the Natural World\, incorporating stories\, effigies\, and symbology of Wampanoag traditions.

SUMMARY:Spring Virtual Lecture Series: "The Mighty Struggle for Liberty & Reform: George Burleigh and His Remarkable Family"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jennifer Rycenga\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo one evoked the beauties of Little Compton more than George Shepard Burleigh (1821-1903)\, except maybe his son\, Sydney Richmond Burleigh\, in painting. But George was much more than a lover of nature. Burleigh was the youngest child from a family of seven Abolitionist siblings. He wrote pointedly against slavery\, against the death penalty\, and in opposition to the war with Mexico. His literary work was widely published and championed by the literary elite (including Longfellow and Lowell)\, and he was recognized by the Transcendentalists as a kindred spirit. His marriage to Ruth Burgess\, of Little Compton\, brought George into the natural splendour of this corner of the world. But he never lost his reformer’s conscience\, supporting women’s rights and temperance in the decades after the Civil War. George – and his love of Little Compton’s scenery and families – are more significant than has been previously acknowledged. This talk will outline the last four decades of George’s life\, when he lived in Little Compton. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jennifer Rycenga\n\n\n\nJennifer Rycenga\, author of Schooling the Nation: The Success of the Canterbury Female Academy (University of Illinois Press\, 2025)\, is Professor Emerita in the Humanities Department at San José State University. Her scholarly work has focused on the Abolitionist movement\, exploring areas previously hidden or marginalized\, such as Black women’s activities and voices\, the anti-racist work of white Abolitionists\, and networks of families and friends involved in the struggles against slavery and injustice. In addition to her work on the Canterbury school controversy\, she has led two Digital Humanities projects on the Burleigh family of Plainfield\, Connecticut – seven siblings who all supported Prudence Crandall and the Canterbury school – and philosophic analyses of the work of Black speaker Maria Stewart (1803-1879).  \n\n\n\nRycenga’s other work ranges widely across feminist musicology (co-editor with Sheila Whiteley of Queering the Popular Pitch\, Routledge 2006)\, global feminism (Frontline Feminisms\, co-edited with Marguerite Waller\, Routledge 2001)\, and lesbian philosophy (The Mary Daly Reader\, co-edited with Linda Barufaldi\, New York University Press\, 2017). Her next major work will examine the convergence of justice\, history\, art\, and the natural world.Jennifer Rycenga lives in Rochester\, New York with her wife Peggy Macres\, an elderly yet spry Shitzu-Poodle named Patsy Cline\, and two highly-contented cats\, Lyssa (Greek; Bringer of Chaos) and Ipo (Hawaiian; sweetheart).

SUMMARY:Spring Virtual Lecture Series: "Lafayette in the American Revolution and his Evolution as an Anti-slavery Advocate"
DESCRIPTION:Lafayette played a critically important role in the American Revolution\, both as a general and as an intermediary between the United States and France. Moreover\, experiences with African Americans during the war transformed him into a leading anti-slavery advocate. Lafayette’s most significant military achievement was the Virginia Campaign of 1781 which led to the siege of Yorktown and victory in the last major battle of the War. His signal diplomatic achievement was the dispatch of General Rochambeau’s army to America in 1780. Lafayette’s relationship with African Americans in the War\, especially with the First Rhode Island Regiment and an enslaved double agent in Lord Cornwallis’s camp was the genesis of a 50-year commitment to the anti-slavery cause. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Alan Hoffman\n\n\n\nALAN R. HOFFMAN obtained a BA in history from Yale before earning a JD at Harvard Law School. An avid reader of early American history\, he “discovered” Lafayette in 2002 and spent two years—2003 to 2005—translating Auguste Levasseur’s Lafayette in America in 1824 and 1825\, the first-hand account of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour of America written by his secretary. Mr. Hoffman has lectured widely on Lafayette—over 260 talks—and has spoken in each of the 24 states (and Washington\, D.C.) which Lafayette visited during the Farewell Tour. Mr. Hoffman co-produced and was the principal author of virtual travelogues covering Lafayette’s Farewell Tour visits to four states: New York\, Virginia\, North Carolina\, and New Hampshire (with TravelStorysGPS). Most recently\, he edited and contributed to Lafayette and the Enduring Struggle for Human Rights and Democratic Governments (American Friends of Lafayette\, Gaithersburg\, Maryland: 2025). Mr. Hoffman currently serves as President of the American Friends of Lafayette and President of the Massachusetts Lafayette Society. He is also the editor of The Gazette of The American Friends of Lafayette. During the AFL’s Farewell Tour Bicentennial\, he served on the Steering Committee that organized commemorative events in 24 states.
