The "People of the Dawnland" (Abenaki/Wabanaki) of New Hampshire and the Northeast are the first Indigenous peoples in North America to have had contact with Europeans. In this presentation ("Who Now Shall Judge The Indians"), examine how European colonization of North America impacted generations of Abenaki/Wabanaki people. Discover the ways in which the Abenaki/Wabanaki peoples have acted as agents of their own change through education, self-advocacy, efforts to revitalize their languages and traditional arts, and by working with archeologists, anthropologists, and scientists to recover and reveal more about their history and traditional knowledge. Led by Anne Jennison, a traditional Native American storyteller and historian of European and Abenaki heritage. She is the current Chair of the New Hampshire Commission on Native American Affairs, a member of the the Indigenous New Hampshire Collaborative Collective, and an affiliate faculty member for the University of New Hampshire Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) Minor.
