Reclaiming Our Ancestors: The First 12,000 Years of Abenaki History
Feb. 5, Mar. 5, May 7, June 4 6:00 p.m.- 9:00 p.m. – Ethan Allen Homestead Museum
In this series we join Abenaki author, filmmaker, activist and scholar Frederick M. Wiseman on a virtual journey through Vermont's marvelous prehistory, from the Early arrivals of Paleo-Indian big-game and marine mammal hunters during the waning of the Ice Age, to the intense environmental adaptations and societal complexities of the Archaic Period, to the arrival of new ideas and technologies from the South and West in the Woodland Period. All of this complex legacy was disrupted and deflected by the arrival of European disease, technology and settlers. Although this series of programs was designed as a learning aid for Vermont Abenakis interested in understanding their heritage, it is open to the public as well.
You can purchase tickets to an individual session for $20 or $65 for the entire four-part series.

Gathering One (Feb 5): "Introduction to the Abenakis: Identity Culture, and Ecology" (February 5, 2019) The nature of Native American Identity and its relation to other classes of protected communities. We then focus on the unique culture and language of the Wabanaki peoples and demonstrate the position of the Vermont Abenakis within this cultural grouping. We then proceed to the great historical and geographic processes that determined how and why the Abenakis are a distinctive people.
