SUMMARY:Nebizun: Water is Life
DESCRIPTION:Nebizun: Water is Life \nMay 1 to October 15\, 2024 \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. \nFor information on the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum (directions\, admission) click here. \n

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: An Indigenous Perspective on Nature: Working Together as Allies
DESCRIPTION:New Speaker Series Zoom Presentation: An Indigenous Perspective on Nature: Working Together as Allies \nAuthor 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. \nClick here to register in advance to receive your invitation and link for the event.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Encountering Ndakinna: Reconsidering Abenaki History in Vermont and New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:New Speaker Series Zoom Presentation: Encountering Ndakinna: Reconsidering Abenaki History in Vermont and New Hampshire \nIndigenous 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. \nDr. 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). \nClick here to register and receive your link to the webinar.
