Plimoth Patuxet has both in person and school visits available

The Massachusetts Center for Native American Awareness is actually based in Danvers. Among their offerings are educational programs.
They have these speakers on their site:

Cynthia Fox Tree, just did a presentation at the Lynnfield library that was a joint presentation by them, the Beverly PL and the Peabody Institute. It looks like she may be geared more toward adults

Larry Spotted Crow Mann, looks like a good possibility
or maybe the third one, Annawon Weedon.

Robin Pease is listed on the Young Audiences of Massachusetts (YAMA) site. She is a Mohawk descendant, comes to your school in traditional regalia to take you on a journey through Native American culture. The program features audience participation in the form of stories, songs, dance, and/or games.

Anne Jennison - presented at Abbot Hall in Marblehead in October. She is chair of the New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs. She is only doing online live events, not in person.

Jennison is the co-producer of Dawnland StoryFest, a daylong event at the Strawberry Banke Museum in Portsmouth, NH featuring storytelling “concerts” or performances by five experienced Indigenous storytellers as well as a keynote address. It just happened in early November.

James Bruchac is in New York state but I think he does programs around here sometimes too.
