A special plenary session will be held at Historic Deerfield, Inc., one of the earliest restored open-air colonial museums in the US, where history and significance remain contested between romantic colonial images of early English settlement and the counterpoised tales of resistance by the Native American peoples of the region. This clash of narratives—created by the traditional interpretation of the site and the new insights arising from archaeological excavations and Native American perspectives—can offer an enlightening case study in approaching new interpretive approaches to shared heritage in a colonial context.
