At America's founding, who was entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

This was the topic of discussion at a recent event at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. Connecticut Public special correspondent Diane Orson led a panel discussion with several Native American historians.

Today, we listen back to that conversation. It's an extension of Still Here: Native American Resilience in New England — a special series from Connecticut Public, featuring radio storytelling, in-depth videos, digital stories, pictures and a community conversation.

Guests:

• Lorén Spears: Executive Director of the Indigenous-led Tomaquag Museum in Rhode Island

• Nakai Clearwater Northup: Manager of Public Programs and Outreach at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center

• Ned Blackhawk: Professor of History at Yale University and author of "The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History"

We live in an age of convenience. From one device, millions of books can be accessed and stored. E-readers have become so ubiquitous that even if you don't personally own one, you probably know someone who does.

But, have you ever stopped to think about how we get our e-books? And once you do get it, do you actually own it?

Today, we will be digging through these questions as we explore e-books and the technology that supports them.

Guests:

• Deborah Schander: Connecticut State Librarian

• Nicholas Engert: public librarian of over 20 years

• Lon Seidman: Connecticut resident and tech reporter at Lon.TV

Every year, the Westport Library hosts a series of author conversations bringing the community together to bond over a book and a shared love of reading.

This year, Where We Live host Catherine Shen hosted one of these conversations and spoke to award-winning author Eiren Caffall. Today, we will listen back to that conversation.

Caffall is the author of “All the Water in the World.” It's the story of one family living in a nearly deserted New York City in the years after the glaciers melt.

Guest:

• Eiren Caffall: author of the memoir "The Mourner’s Bestiary" and the novel "All the Water in the World"
