ATHOL A photography exhibition featuring portraits of Indigenous people who live and work in our region is set to open at the Athol Public Library, 568 Main St., on May 1. “Vital.Vibrant.Visible: Local Indigenous Identity Through Portraiture” was conceived by curator Rhonda Anderson to counteract the spread of inaccurate stereotypes in response to recent debate over the rebranding of local sports mascots.
