Come together for a day of stories and songs with the Nehantic Native Nation and the Elnu Abenaki Tribe. This free, one-day, outdoor event is planned for Saturday, September 17, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the Connecticut River Museum waterfront lawn. Please check ctrivermuseum.org for updates and information.

Both the Abenaki and Nehantic have inhabited New England for thousands of years. The Abenaki Tribe are original natives of Northern New England and the Nehantics moved throughout the lower Connecticut River Valley and Pawcatuck Rivers.

“We look forward to bringing together artists, speakers and musicians from both the Abenaki and Nehantic nations,” said David Brule. Brule is part of the Nolumbeka Project, a non-profit organization based in Greenfield, Massachusetts, whose mission is to honor Northeastern Tribal Heritage.
