Muhshoon/Aklo: Dawnland Indigenous and African Canoes and Maritime Legacies
with Akeia de Barros Gomes | Director of the Center for Black History Newport Historical Society
In 2023, a team of 4 boat-makers (Mashantucket Pequot, Mashpee Wampanoag, Togolese, and Ghanaian) collaborated at Mystic Seaport Museum to create a dugout canoe using both traditional and contemporary methods.
The ten-day collaboration explored similarities in Dawnland and African maritime histories and cultures, imagined how these maritime traditions may have continued if not interrupted, and allowed us to imagine conversations on boat construction as free and enslaved African descended people joined Dawnland Indigenous communities.
Live Q&A to follow.
