SUMMARY:Seminar Series: The Abenaki Cultural Conservancy Collection
DESCRIPTION:STONE LANGUAGE – An American Abenaki Bioculture Seminar Series \n10:00 AM-3:30 PM\nCommunity Room\, The Vermont History Center 60 Washington St.\, Barre\, VT \nUpcoming seminar schedule: \n\n2026 TOPICS TBA – Hold these dates: January 10\, February 14\, April 11\, and May 9\n\n<———-> \nDecember’s seminar will be a focused discussion of the Conservancy collection in the Vermont History Center by its founder\, Dr. Fred Wiseman\, who will discuss its history and the cultural  learning that happened along the way in the accumulation of this important material heritage and legacy.  This collection covers a little known culture region — Vermont\, New Hampshire and Western Maine; and time period (mostly 1790-1970) — and so the joys and pitfalls of working in an intellectual vacuum will be explored. \nOver the decades\, Dr. Wiseman found that provenance\, the documented origin (place of original use) became the most important attribute of an object sitting in an antique dealers shop or the auction block. As time went on\, through a process of acquisition\, study and reselling questionable items\, Wiseman began to see patterns and similarities that demonstrated a regional “American Abenaki Style” in items such as beadwork and basketry\, as well as the documented historical presence of more cosmopolitan indigenous items such as basketry fish traps\, and “Niagara-style” beadwork that confirm a culturally complex Indian presence in the region. \nRecently the collection has emerged as a bedrock source of Vermont Abenaki pride in their history and culture in a time when these precious commodities are under assault.  There will be time for discussion during and after the introductory PowerPoint lecture and examinations of the collection in the Historical Society’s Research and Exhibition Gallery.

SUMMARY:Something of Value:  Exploring the 1790- 2010 Indigenous Vermont Experience.
DESCRIPTION:The Culminating Public Event of National Wildlife Refuge Week.\nMissisquoi Wildlife Refuge Headquarters\, 29 Tabor Road\, Swanton\, VT \n9:30 AM-4:00 PM. October 12\, 2025\nIntroduction to the Event \nScholars have neglected the last two centuries of the Vermont Indian story\, leading to the belief that the state’s Native community had emigrated to Canada. But since a seminal gathering of Native tradition bearers in Burlington in May 2023\, dedicated Vermont Abenakis have taken an abandoned history\, anthropology and ecology into their own hands\, — delving into government documents\, collecting historic baskets and beadwork\, and retrieving family memories. Others repatriate this knowledge by growing heritage crops in traditional Vermont Indian ways\, curating Indian artifact collections\, writing this\nmaterial down for posterity\, and creating new\, heritage-based art. This remarkable information was recently introduced to the public in Something of Value\, Dr. Frederick Wiseman’s new book\, available for purchase from the Wildlife Refuge. \nThis gathering updates Dr. Wiseman’s previous Abenaki Tribal training programs at the Wildlife Refuge in the summer of 2023 — augmented by new discoveries in genealogy\, history\, social structure\, community governance and settlement patterns. The program will consist of dynamic PowerPoint lectures\, detailed and evocative imagery\, ancestral music\, and impromptu discussion with attending tradition bearers. Some stories are ethnically definitive\, such as a 1906 newborn’s\, birth certificate unequivocally bestowing a Vermont-state certified “Indian” racial identity. Other stories are poignant\, such as the “Abenaki Lullaby” tearfully recognized during a 2014 performance by an elder who had once heard it as an infant during the Great Depression. Some stories are intellectually radical stories include the discovery of a mid-19 th century American Abenaki art style and unearthing a complex 20th century Indigenous social structure. \nImplications \nUnder the discriminatory criteria regarding Native American identity in North America\, ethnic legitimacy flows from documented Native American genealogy\, historical cultural continuity\, ancestral cultural competency\, Indigenous community structure and ancestral governance. The vast information landscape encompassing Vermont Indian ethnicity\, history\, culture and ecology has been carefully sampled\, curated and organized by Dr. Wiseman to offer a comprehensive introduction to compelling evidence and direct certification of resident Vermont Indigeneity – a certainty that has been needed by the settler and Indigenous communities to restore and maintain intercultural respect\, peace and tranquility. The presentations are underwritten by curated primary document and museum artifact research collections available for viewing and new works of fiction\, and peer-reviewed academic publications available for purchase. There will be also be opportunities for direct\, on-site encounters with these foundational Vermont Indian artifacts\, imagery\, official documents\, and corroborating literature on the American Abenaki experience. The educational program will also provide opportunities for Q & A and discussion. \nThe Missisquoi Wildlife Refuge Program \n9:30 Welcome\, Coffee & Donuts\nWelcome from community leaders\, meet and greet tradition bearers\, and have a light breakfast. \n10:00-11:00 Introduction: What is a Vermont Indian?\nDiscussion of the records of historical indigeneity in Vermont state and federal certificates and other documents. Primary source material such as birth certificates\, Selective Service registration cards\, Eugenics records; prison and medical records\, and death certificates will be shared and explained. Examples of these important records are illustrated in the Vermont Birth\, Eugenics\, &amp; death records: the revolution documents booklet available for sale. \n11:00-12:00 Traces of an Indian Past: 1790-1970\nDiscussion of the written and testimonial record of resident Vermont people believing\, making and doing “Indian things” in the 19th and 20th centuries. This historical material includes an indigenous Vermont language\, apparently independent from Canadian Abenaki\, 19th and 20th century basketmaking\, hunting\, fishing\, architecture\, and other minor activities. We also consider the physical and graphic record of cultural continuity\, much of it referred to in Vermont Indigenous Material Culture\, Abenaki Beadwork\, and the in-press\, Abenaki Basketry which will be available for sale. \n12:00- ca. 1:00 PM Lunch Break “Lunch on your own.” Suggestions for takeout and delivery available. \n1:00-2:00 A Modern Vermont Indigenous Year\, ca. 2010.\nAn introduction to the regionally unique horticultural/ceremonial calendar that has\npersisted in Vermont and nearly New Hampshire until today\, including unique landrace seeds\, field preparation\, planting\, and crops\, as well as calendrical and horticultural ceremonies\, such as the Forgiveness Moon solstice-adjacent ritual\, and the Field Blessing\, Green Corn\, and Harvest Ceremonies. This distinctive Vermont biocultural experience is\nplaced in a larger regional context in The Seven Sisters… book\, also available\nfor sale in the MWR Headquarters gift shop. \n2:00-3:00 The Vermont Indian Community: 1900-2010\nA discussion of new insights into traditional 19th and 20th century American Abenaki community structure\, governance\, organization and settlement geography. Distinctive regional Indigenous sub-communities include forest camps\, tourist-adapted encampments\, complex linear arrays of tiny rural settlements and dispersed and\nconcentrated settlements within Euroamerican villages. To find more interesting detail on these Vermont Indigenous communities\, refer to Chapter V in Something of Value. \n3:00-4:00 Book Signing for Dr. Wiseman’s Something of Value Book.\nThis is the time to meet and greet Vermont Abenaki Tradition bearers\, to examine historical arti-facts up close\, and to purchase informational materials on the American\nAbenakis of Vermont. \nSupported in part by Vermont Humanities \n \nDownload Flyer Here

SUMMARY:Hidden Heritage: The Vermont Indian  Community\, 1790-2010
DESCRIPTION:An Indigenous People’s Day Celebration\nThe Community Room\, The Vermont History Center 60 Washington St. Barre\, VT \n10:00 AM-3:30 PM. October 11\, 2025\nIntroduction & Backstory \nThe reality underwriting Vermont’s neglected Indian community is totally unlike the rather controversial public image advocated by University of Vermont scholars and department heads\, the Vermont media\, and even some Abenaki tribal leaders.  Discriminatory\, eugenical standards regarding Vermont Abenaki identity demand that ethnic legitimacy flow primarily from demonstrable Indigenous ancestry and historical-cultural continuity; and to a lesser extent\, from ancestral cultural competency and Indigenous community governance. The stereotypic “Vermont Abenaki” Indian deconstructed by local academia and media meets none of these criteria. Yet dedicated Vermont Indigenous people have taken their disregarded history\, anthropology\, ecology and geography into their own hands\, — delving into government documents\, collecting and curating collections of local aboriginal artifacts\, images and writings\, retrieving ancestral family practices\, skills\, photographs and memories\, growing heritage crops in Indian ways\, and creating new\, heritage-based art. \nThis Indigenous People’s Day will offer interested Vermonters a short introduction to a hidden heritage. This vast\, mostly native-generated “Indigenous information landscape” has been carefully sampled\, curated\, and organized by Dr. Frederick Matthew Wiseman; to offer a short\, yet comprehensive introduction to compelling evidence and direct certification of resident Vermont Indigeneity in his new book Something of Value: The Vermont Abenakis: 1790-2000. \nOn October 11\, 2025\, Dr. Wiseman will present a day-long program in Barre that lets this Native-generated evidence speak for itself — through dynamic PowerPoint lectures\, and direct\, on-site encounters with foundational Vermont Indian artifacts\, imagery\, and official documents\, on the historical and modern American Abenaki experience. This informative program will also provide opportunities for Q &amp; A\, impromptu discussion with attending tradition bearers\, an opportunity to view the Abenaki Cultural Conservancy’s collection at the History Center\, as well as purchase Something of Value and corroborating in-print popular and scholarly literature. \nSupported in part by Vermont Humanities. \n \nThe Program \n10:00-10:15 Welcome\, Coffee & Donuts\nWelcome from Community Leaders and meet &amp; greet tradition bearers. 10:15-11:00 Introduction: What is a Vermont Indian?

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.

SUMMARY:Earthshapers & Placemakers: Abenaki History in Deep Time
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDr. 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\nfocuses 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. \nSponsored by: Abenaki Alliance\, New England Foundation for the Arts\, Vermont Humanities\, and The Vermont Arts Council

SUMMARY:Something of Value: the Vermont Abenaki community 1790 - 2020
DESCRIPTION: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.\nBuilding 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. \nSponsored by: Abenaki Alliance\, New England Foundation for the Arts\, Vermont Humanities\, and The Vermont Arts Council \nCome early and enjoy the Abenaki Heritage weekend!

SUMMARY:Nebizun: Water is Life Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Nebizun (alternately spelled Nebizon) is the Abenaki word for medicine and the root word Nebi is the Abenaki word for water. The rivers and tributaries of N’Dakinna (our homeland) were our highways for traveling and the water itself is important to the species of fish and other wildlife that is necessary to our way of life. As stewards of the environment Native American people know the importance of having clean water. The Abenaki people know and understand the importance of water in everyday activities related to foodways and healing powers of water. Nebizun: Water is Life draws its inspiration from Native American Grandmothers who have been doing water walks to pray for the water\, and from when the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act was celebrated. \n  \n \nVermont Abenaki Artists Association is supported by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ Cultural Sustainability program\, made possible by the Wallace Foundation.

SUMMARY:SOMETHING OF VALUE; The Vermont Abenakis\, 1790-2020
DESCRIPTION:The Vermont Abenakis\, 1790-2020 \nGiven 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. \nThrough 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.” \nThe 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. \nWe 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. \nThere will be photo opportunities with artifacts\, government documents and images\, as well as time for questions and answer. \nFor more information\, contact Dr. Wiseman at: wisem@vtlink.net
