Description
This film documents the history of the relationship between the Nipmuc people and the College of the Holy Cross, beginning with the purchase of land by Father James Fitton and Bishop Benedict Joseph Fenwick, S.J. on Pakachoag Hill. It explores the forgotten history of the College and its relationship to the indigenous people while challenging the romanticized or inaccurate ways in which the Nipmuc people have been portrayed.
