We are excited to launch a new phase of Abenaki Women Leading the Way—and we need your help!
Abenaki women have always been the heart of their communities, serving as caregivers, culture bearers, knowledge keepers, and leaders. Yet, many of their stories remain untold. We are gathering oral histories to honor and preserve these experiences, ensuring that future generations can learn from and be inspired by them. This is an opportunity to reclaim and share history in a way that reflects the strength, resilience, and leadership of Abenaki women. By sharing, you help shape a broader understanding of Abenaki women’s past and present roles.
How You Can Participate? We invite you to share your knowledge, memories, and reflections through our Abenaki Women Oral History Survey. Whether you have personal stories, family history, or insights into the many roles Abenaki women have played over time, your contribution is invaluable. Please take a moment to fill out the survey and share it with others who may have stories to tell. Click here to submit your family stories to this important oral history project!
Oral tradition is a powerful way to preserve history. Your stories may be featured in upcoming exhibits, articles, and educational materials developed by the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association and our partners.
