Acadians of the St. John River Speaker Series: A Path Not Taken: the Middle Ground along the Wolastoq/St. John River, 1654-1690 by Gregory Kennedy

The failure to achieve middle ground between 17th century Indigenous, French and English historical actors on the Wolastoq / St. John River will be the focus of a presentation by historian Gregory Kennedy in the Acadians of the St. John River Speaker Series.

Gregory Kennedy is Associate Professor of History and Research Director of the Acadian Studies Institute at the Université de Moncton. His presentation will explain how the failure to accommodate left a powerful legacy of antagonism that destroyed any hope for a shared future, setting the conditions for more drastic and destructive actions in the century ahead.

This FREE event takes place Thursday, November 7 at 7.00 pm at Government House, 51 Woodstock Road, Fredericton. Refreshments will be served and the public is welcome to attend.
