Bounty Film Screening and Discussion
This 9-minute documentary features Penobscot parents and children commemorating their survival by reading and reacting to the Phips Proclamation, a law that motivated colonial settlers to hunt, capture, kill, and scalp Indigenous people in exchange for cash and land. Lieutenant Governor Spencer Phips, who signed the 1755 law featured in the film, was a respected and engaged member of the congregations today known as First Parish in Cambridge (UU) and First Church in Cambridge (UCC).
The screening will be followed by a discussion facilitated by Mishy Lesser, learning director of Upstander Project, and Penobscot Nation Tribal Ambassador Maulian Bryant, co-creator of Bounty and participant in the film. Light refreshments will be served after the discussion.
