Program Description

Event Details

In this series, we will take a deep dive into the archives and explore key events, historical mysteries, and traditional folktales that have shaped the world we live in today.

Chief Don Stevens, of the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe, will join us virtually to speak about how to look at water from an indigenous point of view and how it relates to the world around us. He will also speak about the oral stories surrounding the creation of Lake Champlain and its waterways. We invite you to learn about the history of his people and the place they call home.
