Lake Champlain Maritime Museum

Dressed in clothing faithful to 1609, members of El-nu and Missisquoi Abenaki portray their ancestors and share traditional life skills, diplomacy, and weapons. Fredrick M. Wiseman, PhD will narrate a comparison of the early seventeenth century Native and European transportation, navigation, clothing, arms, armour, food, healing, and how these cultures began the process of adapting to each other.
Native American Encampment 2009!

Dr. Wiseman will also present his newest publications, At Lake Between, Champlain Tech, and Baseline 1609 (all currently available at our online store). Dr. Wiseman’s research combines European sources, Wabanaki Wampum Records, and the use of replica tools, weapons, and clothing, to provide new insight into this era.
