SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Encountering Ndakinna: Reconsidering Abenaki History in Vermont and New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:New Speaker Series Zoom Presentation: Encountering Ndakinna: Reconsidering Abenaki History in Vermont and New Hampshire \nIndigenous histories are deeply rooted in northern New England\, particularly in present-day Vermont and New Hampshire\, a region collectively known to Abenaki people as Ndakinna (“our homeland”). Early colonial explorers recognized the abundant natural resources that made this territory so hospitable\, but failed to recognize the complexities of Abenaki foodways and lifeways. The inherently fluid and flexible structure of family bands\, the seasonal nature of homesites\, and the ready access to travel routes enabled people to strategically relocate as needed to gather resources\, adapt to climatic change\, and evade conflict. In the late 1600s\, in the aftermath of King Philip’s War\, many Native refugees from the middle Connecticut River valley relocated northward in diaspora\, seeking refuge in Abenaki territory. During the French and Indian Wars\, some Abenaki and other Native refugees joined new inter-tribal settlements organized around French Catholic missions\, further confusing the picture of the past. During the late 1700s\, provincial governors\, soldiers\, land speculators\, and settlers alike colluded in re-writing regional history by promoting the notion that colonial settlers were the first permanent inhabitants and Abenaki people were wanderers who had abandoned the territory. This talk features new research into archaeological records\, historical archives\, and other sources that document Abenaki persistence and survivance\, despite past and present attempts at erasure. \nDr. Margaret M. Bruchac (Nulhegan Abenaki) – in her multi-modal career as a performer\, ethnographer\, historian\, and museum consultant – has long been committed to critical analyses of colonial histories and recoveries of Indigenous histories. She holds a BA in Theater and History from Smith College\, and a PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. At the University of Pennsylvania\, Dr. Bruchac is Professor Emerita of Anthropology\, founder of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative\, and Associate Faculty in the Penn Cultural Heritage Center (https://anthropology.sas.upenn.edu/people/margaret-bruchac). Her research has been supported by grants from the American Philosophical Society (2011)\, School for Advanced Research (2012)\, and Mellon Foundation (2021)\, among others. Since 2014\, she has directed “The Wampum Trail\,” a restorative research project designed to reconnect wampum belts in museum collections with their related Indigenous communities (https://wampumtrail.wordpress.com/). Bruchac is also a member of the Great Lakes Research Alliance for the Study of Aboriginal Arts and Culture. She has long served as a consultant to New England museums\, including Historic Northampton\, Historic Deerfield\, the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association\, and Old Sturbridge Village. Her book Savage Kin: Indigenous Informants and American Anthropologists (University of Arizona Press 2018) was the winner of the inaugural Council for Museum Anthropology Book Award (https://uapress.arizona.edu/book/savage-kin). \nClick here to register and receive your link to the webinar.

SUMMARY:Hunting and Fishing: A Case Study in Cultural Continuity - Frederick M. Wiseman\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION: Hunting and Fishing: A Case Study in Cultural Continuity – Frederick M. Wiseman\, PhD. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Abenaki people in Vermont were and are culturally competent in many types of Indigenous hunting and trapping techniques as well as the use of traditional hunting spirituality. They have used sophisticated Native American technologies such as canoes and snowshoes to get to hunting grounds\, stayed in the field in wigwams or tents\, fished with spears and handlines\, hunted and killed game with lances\, bows\, and guns\, and brought it back to camp for processing. Wiseman presents abundant evidence of these activities in the form of objects\, tools\, historic photographs\, family stories and distinctive skills passed down through generations of Abenaki families all with good documented historical Vermont provenance. \n\n\n\nDr. Wiseman trained as a Paleoethnobotanist at the University of Arizona’s Laboratory for Paleoenvironmental Studies and has done botanical\, phytogeographic and ethnobotanical fieldwork in the American Southwest and Northwestern Mexico. After serving as Assistant Professor of Biogeography in the Department of Geography and Anthropology at Louisiana State University and as Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Center for Materials Research in Archaeology and Ethnology\, where he taught courses on the ecology of the rise of Indigenous American Civilization\, Wiseman returned to his Vermont roots\, to teach and do research at the former Johnson State College until his retirement as Professor and Department Chair in 2014.  Since 1987\, he has focused on the Indigenous Wabanaki people of the far Northeast\, having published popular and academic books\, curricula and film on modern Indigenous culture\, prehistoric archaeology\, and Contact Period ethnohistory\, politics and technology. \n\n\n\nHe was instrumental in the research and political advocacy that led to four Vermont Indigenous bands being recognized by the State of Vermont\, for which Wiseman was awarded the first Lifetime Achievement Award by the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association. In 2018\, Wiseman was honored for his work in Wabanaki revitalization in a special ceremony at Indian Township\, Maine. Daniel Nolette\, executive Director of the Odanak First Nation’s tribal government\, recently “praised Wiseman’s work” (“A false narrative….\,” Vtdigger.org\, 11/14/2023)\, and on 11/30/2023 Odanak Chief Rick Obomsawin invited him to present his work to the Tribe. \n\n\n\nHis experience in Wabanaki and ethnobotanical studies have been brought to bear on the archaeological and Colonial Period ecology and subsistence of Northeastern Indigenous peoples and their neighbors. With his help\, Northeastern Native Communities from Maryland to New Brunswick are reviving their interrupted deep-time agricultural systems\, working with experimental gardens to re-configure an almost lost Northeastern agricultural heritage. He has partnered with Vermont Organics Reclamation of St. Albans\, VT to create the first Northeastern agroforest based upon his paleoenvironmental work in ancestral Indigenous ecosystem management. His recent work focuses on American Abenaki wellness and trauma response and the specific use of cultural revival as a way of mitigating trauma and working toward individual and community health and wellness.  He has just completed a yearlong series of workshops\, a response to public concerns regarding Vermont Abenaki cultural legitimacy\, consisting of illustrated lectures\, demonstrations\, exhibits of relevant material culture and discussions of the history of the Abenaki revival\, settlement patterns\, wellness\, language\, subsistence\, ceremony\, and material culture. \n\n\n\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. \nHunting and Fishing: A case study in cultural continuity – Frederick M.

SUMMARY:Understanding and Addressing Hypertension as a Community Health Worker
DESCRIPTION:Hypertension is a medical condition\, also known as high blood pressure\, which can increase the risk for serious conditions such as heart disease and stroke\, two leading causes of death for people in the United States. Community Health Workers (CHWs) are uniquely qualified to improve health outcomes among individuals diagnosed with hypertension and support at-risk individuals to prevent the development of the condition. The purpose of this webinar is to outline the role of CHWs in addressing hypertension self-management and prevention in their communities while showcasing a Vermont CHW program. Audience: Community health workers (or similar roles)\, patient navigators\, health educators\, public health specialists\, CHW supervisors\, Community Health Teams\, etc. \nRegister here: https://www.nephtc.org/enrol/index.php?id=328
