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:Speaker Series: An Indigenous Perspective on Nature: Working Together as Allies
DESCRIPTION:New Speaker Series Zoom Presentation: An Indigenous Perspective on Nature: Working Together as Allies \nAuthor and storyteller Randy Kritkausky\, a federally enrolled tribal member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation who lives in Vermont\, writes about awakening to Native American spiritual teachings. He has come to regard owls\, coy-wolves\, and the forest enveloping his home as teachers. As young and old alike struggle to make sense of the “new abnormal” of floods and violent windstorms in Vermont\, Randy finds inspiration and hope by bridging mainstream and Indigenous thinking about environmental issues. Indigenous communities and other-than-human kin show us opportunities to heal the planet’s ecosystems by learning to “listen” to one another more respectfully.  Such a journey is open to those in the mainstream as well as those with Native American heritage who hunger for a deeper understanding of what is going on in the natural world that surrounds us. Learn how we do this together. \nClick here to register in advance to receive your invitation and link for the event.

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:Inoculating Whiteness: Settler Colonialism\, Whiteness\, & Infectious Diseases in Sheet’ka – Adam Kersch\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:When colonizers arrived in Sheet’ka (Sitka\, Alaska)\, the homeland of the Tlingit people\, they imported devastating infectious diseases. Russian and Euro-American colonizers’ writings describe these diseases as a marker of colonizers’ self-assumed superiority. Colonizers saw vaccines as introducing a material part of European technology that would ultimately lead to Tlingit people’s acceptance of Russian and American colonial rule. In other words\, they saw vaccines as inoculating Tlingit people with whiteness. Research on this project involved archival analysis\, interviews\, and participant observation. It began after receiving permission from Sitka Tribe of Alaska’s Tribal Council and included reports to the Tribal Council on vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic. This talk will discuss over 200 years of colonial history and how colonizers used ideas about infectious diseases and vaccinations to justify attempted ethnocide. It will also discuss how Tlingit leaders responded to other manifestations of whiteness during the COVID-19 pandemic. \n\n\n\nAdam Kersch (he/they) is a Jewish-American researcher whose work has focused on race\, public health\, policy\, and immigration. They are committed to community-led and community-oriented research and engaging with both academic and non-academic audiences. He works in memory of his grandparents\, who survived attempted genocide.\n\n\nAfter completing his dissertation – which focused on race\, settler colonialism\, and public health policy during infectious disease outbreaks in Sheet’ká (Sitka\, Alaska) from 1800 to present – he earned his PhD in anthropology at the University of California\, Davis in 2022. His masters research – completed in 2016 with the Department of Anthropology at the University of Central Florida – examined how refugees\, asylum-seekers\, and undocumented immigrants in Sicily navigated gaps in European Union and Italian healthcare policies.  \nIn their spare time\, Adam enjoys spending time with their wife and dog\, writing music\, hiking\, spending time outdoors\, reading\, and crafting. Adam is immensely grateful for the opportunity to work with and learn from the TRC and Vermonters. \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. \n\nInoculating Whiteness: Settler Colonialism\, Whiteness\, & Infectious Diseases in Sheet’ka – Adam Kersch\, Ph.D.April 11\, 2024 06:30 PM EST\nRegister in advance for this webinar:https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Y03LtFO1TJyZ_eIvudsReAAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \n\n  \n  \nSponsored by
