SUMMARY:Joseph Bruchac to Launch New Book Called Dawn Land
DESCRIPTION:Joseph Bruchac to Launch New Book Called Dawn Land – Mark you calendar now! You don’t want to miss this ZOOM presentation by this nationally acclaimed Abenaki author.\nRemembering The Dawn Land:\nA presentation on the historical novel Dawn Land by its author\, Joseph Bruchac\nThe area we now refer to as Western New England has been the homeland of Native people for at least 10\,000 years. Relying on oral traditions and the related elements of natural history\, archaeology\, cultural survival\, indigenous language\, and the living land itself\, the author takes us back to that ancient time. The heart of the story is the hero’s journey\, with his faithful dogs by his side\, of the book’s main character Young Hunter. The program will include discussion of how the novel — and its main characters — came to be\, the telling of some of the stand alone stories from the book\, and a Q&A session at the end.\n\nAward-winning author\, storyteller\, and musician\, Joseph Bruchac has published work in virtually every genre since his first collection of poetry in 1971. The author of over 180 books\, his novel Code Talker was recently listed by Time magazine as one of the 100 best YA books of all time. His experiences include three years of volunteer teaching in West Africa\, eight years of running a college program inside a maximum security prison\, and half a century of studying and teaching such martial arts as pentjak-silat and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The current Poet Laureate of Saratoga Springs\, New York\, he’s the Executive Director of the Ndakinna Education Center\, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator\, and an enrolled citizen of the Nulhegan Abenaki tribe.\nAll opinions expressed by the Program Presenters are solely their current opinions and do not reflect the opinions of the program hosts\, program partners\, and sponsors. \n\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nWhen: April 4 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada)\n \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUkfu6orjMjHtHiJqUk9YFqIA5Qbxt0iN2B \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nThis event is FREE\, but donations are appreciated.  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Beyond the Curve
DESCRIPTION:Beyond The Curve Exhibit will be showing In-Person from OCTOBER 21\, 2023 – JANUARY 6\, 2024\nat the Mad River Valley Arts in \, VT\n\n\nGallery is open Tuesday – Friday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free – donations are welcome.\n\n\nCuratorial statement:\n“In March 2020\, the world stood still as businesses and schools around the world closed in response to the global pandemic. Broadcast media\, health\, and government officials repeated the daily mantra “Flatten the Curve.” Resources became scarce\, exposing health disparities and access issues that Native American families face across North America. Here in N’Dakinna (our homeland) Abenaki families turned to traditional medicines and other cultural practices for comfort and survival\, connecting with nature and small family groups.\n\nThroughout the dark times that followed\, Abenaki and other Native American artists\, musicians\, and community members expressed the impact of the pandemic on ourselves and our community through storytelling\, visual arts\, and writing. Our stories of personal experience and perceptions about the disparities\, access issues\, and historical traumas that contribute to vaccine hesitation are also stories of recovery\, survival\, and resilience.\n\nThe stories and artwork in this exhibit were gathered by the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association through the Abenaki Storytelling Project to create an auto-history of the Native American community in Vermont and the surrounding environs.\n\nMany of the storytellers\, artists\, and community members who contributed to this body of work found that sharing helped them process their grief. This exhibition goes beyond Beyond the Curve: the Abenaki COVID Experience differences to speak of experiences that are universal. Together\, we move Beyond the Curve.”\n\n\n\nRECEPTION : OCT. 21 \nCURATORIAL TALK: OCT. 21\, 5-7PM \n\n\n\nSponsored by Sugarbush Resort

SUMMARY:Nebizun: Water is Life Art Exhibit at Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum
DESCRIPTION:Nebizun: Water is Life \nNebizun (alternately spelled Nebizon) is the Abenaki word for medicine and the root word Nebi is the Abenaki word for water. The rivers and tributaries of N’Dakinna (our homeland) were our highways for traveling and the water itself is important to the species of fish and other wildlife that is necessary to our way of life. As stewards of the environment Native American people know the importance of having clean water. The Abenaki people know and understand the importance of water in everyday activities related to foodways and healing powers of water. Nebizun: Water is Life draws its inspiration from Native American Grandmothers who have been doing water walks to pray for the water\, and the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Curve
DESCRIPTION:Beyond The Curve Exhibit will be showing In-Person from June 17th 2023 – October 15th 2023\nat the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum\, Vergennes\, VT\n\nCuratorial statement:\n“In March 2020\, the world stood still as businesses and schools around the world closed in response to the global pandemic. Broadcast media\, health\, and government officials repeated the daily mantra “Flatten the Curve.” Resources became scarce\, exposing health disparities and access issues that Native American families face across North America. Here in N’Dakinna (our homeland) Abenaki families turned to traditional medicines and other cultural practices for comfort and survival\, connecting with nature and small family groups.\n\nThroughout the dark times that followed\, Abenaki and other Native American artists\, musicians\, and community members expressed the impact of the pandemic on ourselves and our community through storytelling\, visual arts\, and writing. Our stories of personal experience and perceptions about the disparities\, access issues\, and historical traumas that contribute to vaccine hesitation are also stories of recovery\, survival\, and resilience.\n\nThe stories and artwork in this exhibit were gathered by the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association through the Abenaki Storytelling Project to create an auto-history of the Native American community in Vermont and the surrounding environs.\n\nMany of the storytellers\, artists\, and community members who contributed to this body of work found that sharing helped them process their grief. This exhibition goes beyond Beyond the Curve: the Abenaki COVID Experience differences to speak of experiences that are universal. Together\, we move Beyond the Curve.”\n\nVirtual Exhibit Coming Soon!\nA special thanks to our sponsors:\nVermont Department of Health\, Vermont Humanities\, Vermont Arts Council\, Abenaki Arts & Education Center\, Abenaki Alliance\, & Lake Champlain Maritime Museum.

The rivers and tributaries of N’Dakinna (our homeland) were our highways for traveling and the water itself is important to the species of fish and other wildlife that is necessary to our way of life. As stewards of the environment Native American people know the importance of having clean water. The Abenaki people know and understand the importance of water in everyday activities related to foodways and healing powers of water. Nebizun: Water is Life draws its inspiration from Native American Grandmothers who have been doing water walks to pray for the water\, and the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
