Learn About Chief Wingina This Summer

We have two more sessions available this summer for visitors to learn about Chief Wingina of the Hattorask from GrayHawk Parsons. Gray is a local historian and author that has heritage in the Machapunga-Matamuskeet people. He was able to get adults and kids alike to peer into the past and understand a little of what it may have been like for the indigenous people here on the island when first encountering the English.

He explains an indigenous perspective of community as well as aspects of every day life. A treat for anyone interested in the local history that is often overshadowed by stories of the Lost Colony.
