DESCRIPTION:Second Tuesday: Conestoga & Susquehannock\n\n05/13/25 12:00 PM EST\n - 05/13/25 01:00 PM EST\Description:\nSecond Tuesday is a lunch & learn program designed to provide professional genealogists with the latest insights and advanced knowledge in the field. Each month, a different expert will lead a session on a unique topic, offering valuable perspectives and practical guidance.\nFollowing up on March’s talk with It’s Not History podcast host Charles Stewart, Conestoga-Susquehannock Tribal Historian Michael Mantooth will take us deeper into the hidden history found in genealogical documents. He’ll offer insights into researching Indigenous ancestry in states without currently recognized tribes, and how shifting classifications—where Indigenous people were often recorded as Black, White, or Colored—complicate the search. Michael will share examples that challenge the widely accepted story of his people's extinction, backed by over 175 years of efforts to reclaim their treaty land. He’ll also highlight some lesser-known resources that can reveal genealogical clues traditional methods often miss.\n\nMichael, who has a degree in Native American Studies from Dartmouth College, currently serves as the Tribal Historian for the Conestoga-Susquehannock Tribe. His talk will feature case studies, stories of altered census records, and a look at the unique challenges eastern tribes still face today.\n\n
