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. Are people of Native descent who portray their ancestors 're-enactors' or historic interpreters? Something else entirely? What's the difference between the the two commonly (and wrongfully) interchanged words?
