Smithtown Building Closed

Due to the storm that occurred during the early morning hours of August 19, which caused torrential flooding, our Smithtown Building suffered catastrophic damage to its lower level. Therefore, until further notice, our Smithtown Building will be closed while we continue to rebuild.  Our other three buildings remain open to assist our patrons. For updates, click here.

Event Details

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Christopher Verga returns to examine the tribal nations of pre and post-colonial Long Island. We will unpack the popular myths with the realities of indigenous Long Island societies. Through primary sources such as land records and early pictures, we will explore the complexities of colonial interaction with tribal nations and the present-day relics.
