SUMMARY:Beyond the Curve
DESCRIPTION:Beyond The Curve Exhibit will be showing In-Person from June 17th 2023 – October 15th 2023\nat the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum\, Vergennes\, VT\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\nVirtual Exhibit Coming Soon!\nA special thanks to our sponsors:\nVermont Department of Health\, Vermont Humanities\, Vermont Arts Council\, Abenaki Arts & Education Center\, Abenaki Alliance\, & Lake Champlain Maritime Museum.

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:Woven: Gathering at the Intersections - 1st Presentation

SUMMARY:Woven: Gathering at the Intersections - 2nd Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon Workshop Session Block \nWoven: Gathering at the Intersections – 2nd Presentation by Vera Longtoe Sheehan \nA Park for the Arts – This workshop will provide case studies in leveraging the arts to address contemporary issues and build community. These include the creation of a student art exhibit related to the natural and cultural harm of the Emerald ash borer in partnership with the park\, a local school\, and the Abenaki Artists Association. The park’s Education Fellow will also share how the park worked with members of the local Jewish community to use music and art as a rejection of an incident of antisemitism at the park. Lastly\, a park ranger will share recent innovations to public programming at the park that more clearly connects diverse histories\, art on display\, and contemporary issues. Co-Presented by Newton Rose\, Public Engagement Specialist at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park; Kelly Gadouas\, Education Fellow; and Vera Longtoe Sheehan\, Abenaki Consultant and Education Fellow.
