I might be a little biased\, but it seems to me that the Arts offer great ways to kind of ‘shake hands’ with each other.”\nThe Celebrating Abenaki Arts\, Heritage\, & Culture Art Show will be open at Stone Valley Arts from May 31 – July 30\, 2023\n\nMore workshops will be hosted by Stone Valley Arts this summer of 2023.

SUMMARY:Nebizun: Water is Life - Art Exhibit at Bennington Museum
DESCRIPTION:Nebizun: Water is Life \nNebizun (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 the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
