Coni Dubois on the front of Daily Comet July 25th, 2011 with President Obama

I was featured in the Daily Comet Newspaper out of Thibodaux Louisiana on July 25th 2011 and on the front page was an article on President Obama – I was truly honored to see my photo along beside his~

Just recently I was asked to do the unveiling of new trail signs at the Peoples State Forest in Barkhamsted Ct. at the Barkhamsted Lighthouse Site On Sept 10, 2011 – I am a descendant and leading genealogist of the people that lived on Ragged Mountain in Barkhamsted – The Hartford Stage coach used my families homestead as a marker and named it the Barkhamsted Lighthouse due to the campfires from the Indian Village and my people that resided there~ They lived on the mountain for around a hundred years – It was one of the last standing Native American Villages – many races at one time or the other was in the village – but the majority was the Chagum family and their descendants – Descendant of the Narragansett and Long Island Indians~

On Nov 15, 2011 the signs were spray painted with graffiti and terrible sayings~
