History is not only a part of our past but it is also a part of our present. We feel as if we connect with our ancestors when we practice our traditional lifeways. Watch these vidoes to learn more.

Professor Fredrick M. Wiseman of Johnson State College and Roger Longtoe Sheehan Sogomo (Chief) of the El-Nu Abenaki Tribe shed light on a much debated topic in the educational world.

What's the difference between the the two commonly (and wrongfully) interchanged words?
Filmed on site at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. Filmed, produced & edited by Lina Longtoe.
