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.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Curve
DESCRIPTION:Beyond The Curve Exhibit will be showing In-Person from OCTOBER 21\, 2023 – JANUARY 6\, 2024\nat the Mad River Valley Arts in \, VT\n\n\nGallery is open Tuesday – Friday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free – donations are welcome.\n\n\nCuratorial statement:\n“In March 2020\, the world stood still as businesses and schools around the world closed in response to the global pandemic. 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. This exhibition goes beyond Beyond the Curve: the Abenaki COVID Experience differences to speak of experiences that are universal. Together\, we move Beyond the Curve.”\n\n\n\nRECEPTION : OCT. 21 \nCURATORIAL TALK: OCT. 21\, 5-7PM \n\n\n\nSponsored by Sugarbush Resort

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. This exhibition goes beyond Beyond the Curve: the Abenaki COVID Experience differences to speak of experiences that are universal. Together\, we move Beyond the Curve.”

SUMMARY:Watercolor workshops: Painting Inspired by Nature by Abenaki Artist Amy Hook-Therrien
DESCRIPTION:Stone Valley Arts announces watercolor workshops Painting Inspired by Nature by Abenaki artist and Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park artist-in-residence\, Amy Hook-Therrien on Saturday\, July 29th. The activities are part of the Celebrating Abenaki Art\, Heritage\, and Culture project at SVA.\nThe day will feature two workshops: 10am for grades 7 -12 for a forty-five-minute session followed by a two-hour event for adults at 11am. Advanced high school students in the first session will be able to stay through to the later workshop. The workshop is free\, but donations are requested to support SVA and future outreach events.\n\nThe location for Painting Inspired by Nature celebrates the first collaboration between SVA and Slate Valley Trails\, as the workshops will take place at the main Fairgrounds system trailhead parking area at 131 Town Farm Rd\, Poultney\, VT 05764. Some supplies will be available\, but if you have your own drawing pads\, something firm to support the pads\, brushes\, lawnchairs\, etc.\, please do bring them. Please RSVP to stonevalleyartscenter@gmail.com to ensure a spot\, although walk-ins are welcome to see if there are spots available at the time. Come on over and give it a try.\n“SVT and SVA have pretty much evolved side-by-side over this last decade\,” says Diane Bargiel\, executive director of SVA. “Amy Hook-Therrien’s focus on nature has provided us the perfect opening for this first collaboration.”\n\nAmy Hook-Therrien is a Native Vermonter\, who grew up surrounded by nature and adventure. After graduating from the University of Maine in Orono with a bachelor’s degree in fine art and a focus in sculpture & painting\, she returned home to begin her professional career. In 2019 Amy was the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association’s Artist of the Year\, and\, recently\, Amy was asked to provide art for Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center’s new Patient Pavilion that is “grounded in nature\,” and uses art to promote healing. Amy says\, “I love to paint natural things\, birches\, dead beech leaves\, waterfalls\, plants\, stones . . . it allows me to be freer in my painting style; nothing ever looks exactly the same in nature. You can fall in love with the imperfect.”\n\nAs a reminder\, Abenaki storyteller and musician Joe Bruchac will appear in three places that same day\, July 29th: 1pm Middletown Springs Public Library; 3:30 Mettawee Community School in West Pawlet; 7pm Stone Valley Arts at 145 E.

SUMMARY:Nebizun: Water is Life Art Exhibit at Mt. Kearsarge Indian 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.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Abenaki Arts\, Heritage\, & Culture: Gallery Opening & Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Stone Valley Arts as we celebrate the work of 8 American Abenaki Artists. These Artists have woven together their heritage into traditional and contemporary American Abenaki Fine Art\, available for viewing\, interaction\, and for purchase.\n\nThe Artists Reception is a special opportunity to meet some of the artists behind this diverse body of work and connect with local native community.\n\nCelebrating Abenaki Arts\, Heritage\, and Culture is a multi-year project that is focused on creating opportunities for non-Abenaki individuals to begin a journey of gaining insights and understanding about a resilient and creative people who were the first humans to live on this land\, which is now known as Vermont.\n\nThrough the display of art and a series of collateral offerings of workshops\, lectures\, artist interactions\, storytelling\, and music\, Stone Valley Arts hopes to open eyes\, build bridges\, and enrich each viewer\, listener\, and participant.\n\n“As someone who greatly values my own Polish heritage and all it has to offer\,” says SVA executive director\, Diane Bargiel\, “I am captivated by what I am learning about the values\, philosophies\, talents\, and traditions of our Abenaki neighbors whose ancestors have been here for over 13\,000 years. 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. Stay tuned on our Facebook page or check our website’s Event’s calendar and/or register for our email announcements at www.stonevalleyarts.org for upcoming workshop dates!\n\nIt is in gratitude that we announce that Celebrating Abenaki Art\, Heritage\, & Culture events are supported by Vermont Humanities & the New England Foundation for the Arts\n\nAny views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed do not necessarily represent those of the Vermont Humanities or the New England Foundation for the Arts.\n\nThis project is funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts\, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
