SHELTON - Claude Clayton Smith, author of Red Men in Red Square, will share recollections of his
trip to Russia with Chief Big Eagle of the Golden Hill
Paugusett tribe.
The presentation will be offered by the Shelton Reading Circle, a monthly book
discussion program of the Shelton Historical Society, and will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. May 30.
Guests will meet in the Wilson
Barn at the Shelton History Center at 70 Ripton Road.
Refreshments will be served.
Copies of the book can be reserved at the Shelton History Center by calling 203-925-1803.
In the book, the author and Chief Big Eagle describe a remarkable journey they took to meet with Indianites - a group of Russians who study, preserve, and live Native American culture.
Their destination is a pow-wow, larger than any held in the United States at that time, in Leningrad.
The authenticity is surprising: from teepees to music to handmade Native American clothing. The Chief is impressed and readers will be, too.
Is it possible that in the near future, people interested in experiencing Native American culture will have to travel to Russia?
This is a press release from Tracey Tate, executive director, Shelton Historical Society.
