Jeremy Dennis is in pursuit of the past, intent on documenting the historical and sacred sites of indigenous people on Long Island. His project, On This Site, restores a map of an old heritage. Jeremy has walked forests, railroad tracks, and backyards to uncover and photograph the often overlooked and forgotten landscape of his Shinnecock ancestors and other Native Americans on Long Island. On this episode, Jeremy discusses the physical evolution of the sites he has visited as well as his travels through the historical record trying to decode long-forgotten place names and often biased accounts. We also talk about the photography projects that inspired him and what he would like to pursue next.   Further Research: On This Site Jeremy Dennis Fine Art Photography "On This Site: The Indigenous People of Suffolk County" Exhibit July 15th, 1:00 PM Opening Reception, Suffolk County Historical Society Running Strong for American Indian Youth Related Episodes: Tales of the Shinnecock A Walk Through Time With The Shinnecock An Island of History Under Our Feet Photography Projects: Vanishing Points, Michael Sherwin On This Site, Joel Sternfeld The Innocents, Taryn Simon       Save Save
