À propos de cet audio

Today's episode features a conversation with Matt Putnam of the Stockbridge-Munsee and Chris Bowser with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and highlights an amazing event called the New Netherland Marketplace: Living History Event 2025, happening in New Paltz this weekend.

Matt is a member of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican American Indians and a leader in a series of programs showcasing cultural and traditional practices of the original inhabitants of the Hudson Valley.

Matthew was born, raised, and has lived on the Stockbridge Munsee Reservation in WI. Matt is known for teaching boxing to youth, as well as tribal history, genealogy, building canoes, and visiting elders. Matthew is dedicated to working in his community in any way he can that benefits the people.

Looking forward, Matt hopes that genuine education of who his people are can be better understood in mainstream society and that young ones in his community take an interest in learning about their culture and traditions so no more traditional knowledge is lost over time.
