Explore to Learn: Art of Remembering: Songs of the Adirondacks with Jesse Bowman Bruchac on Saturday, August 16th, 12:00–1:00pm!

Free with a suggested donation! https://secure.lglforms.com/…/s/qKuPnxkpqeqYVVHd75eouw…

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.

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.

This workshop is for everyone, no matter your age or experience. Bring your kids, your grandparents, or just yourself!

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.

More than a harvest festival, this event is a powerful expression of cultural identity — a time to gather in community, give thanks, and pass traditions forward.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a living tradition and share in a meaningful evening of storytelling, ceremony, and connection.

Earthshapers & Placemakers: Abenaki History in Deep Time
2025-06-15 13:00 - 14:00 | Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, 4472 Basin Harbor Road, Vergennes, VT, 05491, United States
The physical layout of the Abenaki territory we call “Ndakinna” includes multiple waterways, valleys, mountains, rock formations, etc. that shape the contours of the land. Many of these are still known by locative terms, in the Abenaki language, that describe their physical details. Some places are also known through oral traditions that reference ancient events like glaciation, species evolution, and climate change, encoded in stories of other-than-human “earthshapers.” This talk considers how these stories expand our understandings of the time-depth of Abenaki history in this region, and continue to shape our relations to this landscape, past and present.
Dr. Margaret M. Bruchac (Nulhegan Abenaki) is Professor Emerita of Anthropology and founder of the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research
focuses on oral traditions, museum collections, and cultural heritage, and she directs “The Wampum Trail,” a project designed to reconnect wampum belts in museums with their related Indigenous communities. Dr. 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 Deerfield, Historic Northampton, 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.

Something of Value: the Vermont Abenaki community 1790 - 2020
2025-06-14 13:00 - 14:30 | Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, 4472 Basin Harbor Road, Vergennes, VT, 05491, United States
Join Dr. Frederick Wiseman as he premieres his new book “Something of Value: The Vermont Abenaki experience: 1790-2020.” Using the twin concepts of cultural continuity and cultural competency, it is a brief, peer-reviewed introduction to the little-known genealogy, history, arts, gardening, architecture, and social organization of the Vermont Abenaki community.
Building on Wiseman’s 35 years of research in regional Indigenous history, this book adds unheard voices and new discoveries from Vermont Indigenous tradition-keepers. Combining copies of historic documents, images and original artifacts with a PowerPoint lecture, Wiseman will suggest that the 21st century Vermont Abenaki cultural-historical narrative as sometimes presented in the news, public programming, and online needs serious revision. This groundbreaking little book points the way. Dr. Wiseman will be signing copies after the program.

SOMETHING OF VALUE; The Vermont Abenakis, 1790-2020

The Vermont Abenakis, 1790-2020
Given the apparent confusion regarding the ethnicity, history, social organization and cultural competence of the four Vermont State-recognized tribes, Abenaki Recognition and Heritage Week, 2024 may be good time to reflect upon an aboriginal presence in Vermont.
Through PowerPoint lecture and demonstration, author Dr. Frederick Wiseman will address the ethnicity of this presence first through an introduction to five classes of 20th century Vermont and Federal documents that acknowledge an identified and accepted resident mixed-race Indian population. The second section of the program introduces the 1790-1970 written, graphic, artifactual and testimonial history concerning resident Vermonters making, doing, saying, and believing regionally distinctive things accepted by academic scholars as “Indian.”
The penultimate section explores dimensions of resident, aboriginal 21st century cultural competency, by discussing a case study of regionally distinctive horticultural practice, including crops, planting, nurture, harvest and associated ritual. The final section asks the question “Is this presence an aboriginal community?” in the way suggested by Federal Indian Acknowledgement statute 25 CFR Part 83.11.
We explore dispersed, linear, and nucleated 20th century settlement patterns occupied by a set of regionally distinctive, aboriginal-style kinship-based social organizations with autonomous egalitarian governance. The presentation concludes with a discussion of Vermont Indigenous community assets, including museum installations, peer-reviewed scholarly works, popular books & graphic novels, YouTube videos, and public programs.
There will be photo opportunities with artifacts, government documents and images, as well as time for questions and answer.

Speaker Series: Encountering Ndakinna: Reconsidering Abenaki History in Vermont and New Hampshire
2024-10-24 18:30 - 19:30 | Webinar
New Speaker Series Zoom Presentation: Encountering Ndakinna: Reconsidering Abenaki History in Vermont and New Hampshire
Indigenous 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.
Dr. 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).

Speaker Series: An Indigenous Perspective on Nature: Working Together as Allies
2024-10-10 18:30 - 19:30 | Webinar
New Speaker Series Zoom Presentation: An Indigenous Perspective on Nature: Working Together as Allies
Author 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.
