SUMMARY:Explore to Learn: Art of Remembering: Songs of the Adirondacks
DESCRIPTION:Explore to Learn: Art of Remembering: Songs of the Adirondacks with Jesse Bowman Bruchac on Saturday\, August 16th\, 12:00–1:00pm!\n\n\n Free with a suggested donation! https://secure.lglforms.com/…/s/qKuPnxkpqeqYVVHd75eouw…\n\n\n Join Jesse for a music-centered workshop featuring songs of the Adirondacks\, weaving together Indigenous traditions\, language\, and the rich logging-era songs preserved in the Bruchac family.\n\n\n Accompanied by Native American hand drum\, flute\, rattle\, and the contemporary acoustic guitar\, Jesse will transport you through time with each melody. Stories—traditional\, folk\, and historical—will bring context to the music\, offering a deeper connection to the history of this land and one of its first Indigenous languages\, Algonquian.\n\n\n This workshop is for everyone\, no matter your age or experience. Bring your kids\, your grandparents\, or just yourself!\n\n\n A little bit about Jesse Bruchac! For three decades\, Jesse has been immersed in Algonquian language reclamation efforts. He is the founder and director of the School of Abenaki at Middlebury College and the Assistant Director of the Ndakinna Education Center. He first gained fluency in the Eastern Algonquian Abenaki language\, learning it directly from the last generation of first-language speakers in the 1990s. He has since worked in language reclamation efforts with several other Eastern Algonquian languages\, including Penobscot\, Lenni Lenape\, Delaware (Munsee and Unami)\, Mohican (Mahican)\, Mohegan-Pequot\, and Quiripi-Unquachog. He is currently involved in the reawakening of previously dormant Virginia Algonquian languages.
