For the Love of N’dakinna: Abenaki Continuity and Adaptation

Apr 15

An online presentation by Melody Brook on April 14, 2021, one in a series of offerings from Vermont Humanities Council.
Video archived here and on YouTube above and here.

From the webpage description:

Abenaki people have thrived within N’dakinna, their homeland, for more than 10,000 years. While the people and their culture have changed during this time, the core values of their ancestors have remained constant.

Melody Walker Brook, citizen of the Elnu Abenaki Band of N’dakinna and former chair of the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs, describes how these core values can help shape a more beautiful future.
