Abenaki Artists Panel Discussion

Abenaki artists discuss the meaning of garments, accessories, and regalia in their own lives and as expressions of community and tribal identity. Panelists include Chief Don Stevens of the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe, and Nulhegan citizens Aaron York and Carol McGranaghan. Melody Walker Brook, panel moderator, and McGranaghan currently serve on the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs. McGranaghan is a jewelry maker and also has created a line of wild jellies using traditional herbs. Stevens is a diplomat and storyteller who also makes jewelry and regalia. York is a multifaceted artist, whose work includes birch bark canoes, moccasins and regalia. This program is a partnership between Vermont Abenaki Artists Association and Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. Supported in part by a grant from the Vermont Humanities Council.
Pierson Library, Shelburne Road, Shelburne VT. 6:30-8:30pm.
