   The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster will present The
Indians Who Lived in the Woods, a course with Dr. Fred Dunford on Thursdays,
February 4, 11, 18 and 25 from 10-11:30 am. The course fee is Member/$40;
Non-Member/$50. Each session: M/$12, NM/$15. Register with the Museum at
508-896-3867.
   During the past twenty years, Museum volunteers, under the direction of
archaeologist Fred Dunford, have brought to light discoveries which show
that for almost 10,000 years Native Americans, Cape Cod's first people, made
their homes and sought their living in the richly wooded, watery corridor
which winds through the Herring River and Stony Brook Valley of Brewster and
Harwich. 
   In this new class discover the fate and fortunes of those native people
who lived along the banks of the two "Herring Rivers" when the first of the
English began to settle at "Saquatucket" in the middle of the 17th century. 
   Dr. Dunford will use a combination of recent archeological discoveries,
important primary source documents and colorful 19th and early 20th century
narratives to bring us back to the lives of The Indians Who Lived in the
Woods.
   For further information, contact the Museum at 508-896-3867.
