From its roots in the 17th century through the turbulence of the Revolutionary War, the Three Village community of New York has faced the challenge of maintaining its own identity in a constantly shifting world.
People are often able to identify change agents. They can estimate possible economic and social transitions, and they are often in an economic or social position to make calculated—sometimes risky—choices. Exploring this dynamic, A Tale of Three Villages is an investigation of culture change among the Yup’ik Eskimo people of the southwestern Alaskan coast from just prior to the time of Russian and Euro-North American contact to the mid-twentieth century. Liam Frink focuses on three indigenous-colonial events along the southwestern Alaskan coast: the late precolonial end of warfare and raiding, the commodification of subsistence that followed, and, finally, the engagement with institutional religion. Frink’s innovative interdisciplinary methodology respectfully and creatively investigates the spatial and material past, using archaeological, ethnoecological, and archival sources. The author’s narrative journey tracks the histories of three villages ancestrally linked to Chevak, a contemporary Alaskan Native community: Qavinaq, a prehistoric village at the precipice of colonial interactions and devastated by regional warfare; Kashunak, where people lived during the infancy and growth of the commercial market and colonial religion; and Old Chevak, a briefly occupied “stepping-stone” village inhabited just prior to modern Chevak. The archaeological spatial data from the sites are blended with ethnohistoric documents, local oral histories, eyewitness accounts of people who lived at two of the villages, and Frink’s nearly two decades of participant-observation in the region. Frink provides a model for work that examines interfaces among indigenous women and men, old and young, demonstrating that it is as important as understanding their interactions with colonizers. He demonstrates that in order to understand colonial history, we must actively incorporate indigenous people as actors, not merely as reactors.

In this volume Mr. Howells has collected three short pieces which show his power under various aspects. The pleasantest and in a literary sense the best of the three is the charming paper on 'Lexington,' originally contributed to Longman's Magazine. It is distinguished by that happy faculty of description, that sure artistic eye, and that genial spirit which constitute so much of the fascination of his larger works; flashes of characteristic humor surprise us in its delicate pages; and it has all that strong individual flavor which makes the best writing of Mr. Howells so different from the rest of the good writing which is getting to be abundant in books. The second village in his collection is the Shaker settlement of 'Shirley.' If Lexington was a theme for a dainty literary exercise, Shirley served him rather for a plain and sympathetic account of a community which he seems to have regarded with a tender interest. The quiet and simple tone of the paper is in perfect accord with the life it portrays. The story of the Moravian Indian settlement of 'Gnadenhütten,' on the Muskingum, and the brutal massacre by which the white frontiersmen blotted it out in 1782, is vigorously told in the last chapter of the book, where Mr. Howells shows his skill in tragic narrative rather than description.
The book is a report on the village economy of the state of Tripura in India, based on a survey of three villages in the state conducted by the Foundation for Agrarian Studies in May-June 2016. A team from the Foundation for Agrarian Studies revisited the three villages in April 2017 to conduct case studies.
This guidebook has been published by the Three Village Historical Society as an introduction to the historic communities of Setauket, East Setauket and Stony Brook including the incorporated villages of Old Field and Poquott. The Three Village area is rich in history and fortunate to have much of its history intact. It includes four Town of Brookhaven Historic Districts, a long natural shoreline, a number of wetland areas, a few remaining farms, scattered woodlands and a section of the Long Island Pine Barrens. The homes reflect every period from the 1600's to the present; the new houses blending with their saltbox and Victorian counterparts. The Society does not maintain an historic house or an artifact collection to display and interpret to the general public. Instead, it regards the entire Three Village area as its museum; the homes, the people and the natural environment as its collection; and the homeowners as its curators. To understand and appreciate the community setting involves somewhat the same attitude as it needed to fully enjoy fine paintings and art objects; artifacts in a history museum; or specimens in a natural science museum. The natural setting of the community has the advantage of being a living, constantly changing display. Each structure in the community has its own identity and history as well. Each style tells us something about a specific era. Rooflines, windows, porches, and many other details make each building unique and give diversity and interest to each area. Take a moment to look at details closely. Part of the appeal of our museum is the setting of each building. Fences, walks, barns, rock walls, bridges and the location of a house on its property are the man-made features that add to the setting. Trees, bushes, gardens and landscape features are the natural additions that help to unify an area. Woods, fields, streams, ponds, wetlands, hills and valleys are the environmental features that form an essential part of the historic fabric of the community. We hope you enjoy this guide to our historic Three Village area and that you will use it again as you explore the Three Village Museum.
