The Mishi-maya-gat
Spoken Word & Music Series

Announcing a New Monthly Arts Series at MCC

"The Mishi-maya-gat Spoken Word & Music Series"

[Mishi-maya-gat is the Algonquian term for “Great Trail System,” a network of foot paths created by the native tribes of Connecticut. Within this system of trails, a “Great Path” connected one region with another. The site of the MCC campus is along one of these great paths, and thus, the naming of Great Path as the street leading to campus. It is in this spirit of historical and cultural significance that the arts series also takes its name.]

Featuring Live Music, a Spoken Word Open Mic, a Featured Poet/Writer, and Refreshments.

The series will be held on the 2nd Thursday of the month from 6-8:30 p.m. in the Fireside Commons.

All events are free and open to the public and MCC students, staff & faculty.

Those wishing to participate in the Spoken Word Open Mic may sign up for a brief time slot upon arrival. Poems and short prose pieces are welcomed.

Sponsored by the MCC Foundation.

Hosted by Stephen Campiglio.

Quotes from The Jim Buchanan Novels

“You have always been Crow, in your heart and in your spirit; only your mind has drifted.”

“We are only different by what is inside ourselves. Outside, we are all the same. The Great Spirit did that to confuse us, to challenge the strong and to make the weak wise. Go the way of the strong; but be wise Little Hawk.”

“Little Hawk, the beauty isn't in the beads on your neck, or the pipes we smoke, or the moccasins we wear; the beauty is in the hands that made them.”

“The wolf is also treacherous, but he hides nearby in the shadows.”

“I grew up on this land. I hunted and fished in the wilderness since I was shoulder-high to my pony. I know this land like the earth on the floor of my grandfather’s tipi.”

“May Creator fill everyone’s lives with blessings and love for all things.”

“Éše'he . . . Evoohta . . . Taa'é-eše'he . . . Enemene . . . Enoohta.”

"When we pass from this Earth, we do not die. Cosmically linked with the universe, death on this Earth does not interfere with the grand plan the Great Spirit has for us."
