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

SUMMARY:“Our Songs Remember” Lecture and Performance
DESCRIPTION:OUR SONGS REMEMBER is a combination lecture and performance focusing on the ways in which the Abenaki oral traditions of storytelling and music play a part in the preservation of our indigenous ways. Incorporating Pakholigan (the drum) and Pabekongan (the flute) father and son Joseph and Jesse Bruchac will take you on a journey to the enduring roots of the Western Abenaki nations\, showing how songs carry the heart and meaning of this enduring Native American culture. Both English and Abenaki language will be heard throughout the presentation and several stories will be told that exemplify the way oral tradition has always served at least two purposes—to entertain and to instruct. A well-published author in many genres\, Joseph Bruchac is a citizen and honored elder of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation. Jesse Bruchac\, also an enrolled Nulhegan citizen\, is the founder and Director of the School of Abenaki at Middlebury College\, a musician\, and frequent language consultant for television and movies. Both can be seen in the new PBS documentary MONADNOCK\, The Mountain That Stands Alone\, posted on the website joebruchac.com. \n(Zoom only – Free; however\, registration is limited and required) \nTo register\, go to: www.ethanallenhomestead.org \nIf you have any questions or difficulty getting registered\, contact me. \nJohn A.

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.
