IN THE ADIRONDACK LIBRARY: The First Adirondackers, by Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden

Program Recorded on: April 6, 2026
Curt and David provide a brief overview of their work, followed by an insightful interview with Mitch Teich of North Country Public Radio. The program concludes with a Q&A session with the live audience.

The First Adirondackers reaches far beyond the familiar timelines of settlement to tell a deeper story of the Adirondacks – one that has been shaped by an Indigenous presence for more than 12,000 years. Blending scientific insight with Indigenous knowledge and storytelling, the book reveals how Native peoples lived with, learned from, and stewarded this landscape across countless generations. Through changing climates, waterways, and lifeways, authors Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden illuminate a history that has too often been overlooked or simplified. The Adirondacks emerge not as an untouched wilderness, but as a homeland rich with memory, meaning, and continuity. The First Adriondackers invites readers to reconsider what they think they know about the region and the enduring relationship between people and place.
