FlexFriday: "Life In New Amsterdam"

On Friday, October 22 the New York Historical Society will zoom into the Berkeley Heights campus with a program called "Life in New Amsterdam"  This inquiry-based program will begin with a model of Henry Hudson's ship and then examine the Dutch settlement of Manhattan Island through the use of maps and artifacts. It will explore the conflicts over trade and land use providing a background for conversations regarding the treatment of Native American People prior to our upcoming visit by Red Hawk Council.
