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.
In order to provide as many alternate ancestral voices as possible, the "Learning Circle" gatherings will consist of stories told, academic-style PowerPoint slide
shows, hands on demonstrations of ancient technologies, movies by Wabanaki writers and producers, and Indigenous music video.
This series of learning gatherings will be especially valuable for K-12 teachers, and relicensure hours will be available.
