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 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: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
