Exhibitions
Nebizun: Water is Life
Nebizun (alternately spelled Nebizon) is the Abenaki word for medicine and the root word Nebi is the Abenaki word for water. The rivers and tributaries of N’Dakinna (our homeland) were our highways for traveling and the water itself is important to the species of fish and other wildlife that is necessary to our way of life.
May 1 to October 15 – Ethan Allen Homestead in Burlington, VT.
Deep Roots, Stong Branches
The American Abenaki Abenaki people have lived in N’Dakinna (our Homeland) for more than 12,000 years.

This exhibit presents artwork and stories by the American Abenaki people up to the present day.
