Saint James) and discusses them through a Native American perspective and through the stories they tell of environmental change. It covers Nipmuc relations with colonial settlers and the Jesuit community from the 1500s to today. \nWe are particularly excited to show this film on the exterior of The Prior Performing Arts Center in the Patterson Amphitheatre\, whose site is featured at the start of the film. There was a time when all Holy Cross students knew of Pakachoag\, but that knowledge has been lost. This film seeks to revive a widespread knowledge of the indigenous identity and significance of Pakachoag Hill and today’s larger Worcester region. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n\n \n \n \n \n \n September 3\, 20257:30 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Free entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nBuilding Exterior located in the Patterson AmphitheatrePrior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/outdoor-film-screening-pakachoag-where-the-river-bends/ LOCATION:OUTDOOR FILM SCREENING – Patterson Amphitheatre at The Prior –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Holy Cross Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PAKACHOAG-NEW-WEB.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250924T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250924T180000 DTSTAMP:20260501T055953 CREATED:20250909T134355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250909T195152Z UID:5247-1758736800-1758736800@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Somos Worcester Somos Americanos: Connecting Worcester's Latino History to the National Story DESCRIPTION:Somos Worcester Somos Americanos: Connecting Worcester's Latino History to the National Story\n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Tey Marianna Nunn of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino\n \n Reserve Tickets\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nDoors Open 5:30 p.m.Program begins 6 p.m. \nAbout The Latino History Project of Worcester\nEstablished in 2014\, the Latino History Project of Worcester (LHPW) is a multi-year initiative that documents the Latino experience in Worcester\, including the untold history of Latino individuals\, institutions\, cultures\, economy\, and daily life. Its mission to collect\, share\, and celebrate the Latino experience in Worcester drives a community-centered effort to demonstrate the central role that Latinos played in Worcester and the nation’s larger history. \nThe LHPW’s growing collection of recorded oral history interviews\, photographs\, artifacts\, and written sources will benefit future researchers\, Worcester community members\, and students of all ages. For over a decade\, the project has hosted community events to examine a wide range of topics\, from the fights for bilingual education\, fair housing\, and police reform\, to the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of the Latino community. The project opened its first major exhibit at the Museum of Worcester in 2024. Digital exhibits\, archives\, and a print catalog documenting Worcester’s Latino history will soon follow. \nThis year’s main event to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month will feature a discussion of the project and the larger effort to move Latino stories from the margins to the center of American history. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nAbout The Guest Speaker\nWe are honored to host Dr. Tey Marianna Nunn as guest speaker.
