Title: A Time Before New Hampshire & Vermont
Description: The story of this region¹s amazing geology and the tumultuous ice age are among our most fascinating ancient histories. These formative events have been followed by 12,000 years in the lives of the Abenaki (Alnôbak). Down through the present day, the Abenaki have sustained themselves in ways molded by practical needs and spiritual beliefs. This program looks at the history of the landscape and the deep connection that the native peoples of this region maintain with their homeland, Gedakina, ³Our Land.²
Spend the day on a journey immersed in the natural and cultural histories of New Hampshire and Vermont. Participants will discover a living past through stories, slides, discussion, music and a journey into the countryside. We¹ll explore traditional land use, stewardship and the impacts the Alnôbak have had on the land. After lunch we¹ll visit some historic places. During this field trip the group will be steeped in Native American folklore and information about the traditional uses of wild edible, medicinal and poisonous plants. WeŒll sample wild edibles and share indigenous stories as we traverse the riverside environment. Out we¹ll go, come rain or pun.
