SUMMARY:POSTPONED: EC200 Speaker Series: The Erie Canal's Indigenous Impact Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed to Tuesday\, July 8. \nAs communities celebrate the Erie Canal’s Bicentennial\, this panel will explore its lesser-known legacy – the profound impact on Indigenous peoples and the environment.
