Through December 28, 2012.(Bar Harbor, ME) Indians and Rusticators highlights the role that Mount Desert Island played in the cultural and economic survival of the Wabanaki, the collective name for the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, and Micmac in Maine. The seasonal interactions of Wabanakis and summer rusticators, summer residents from the large urban areas of the Northeast, will be explored through photographs, artifacts, and hands-on interaction. The exhibit, which runs through December 28, 2012, will profile various personalities—especially the iconic Penobscot Indian showman Frank “Big Thunder” Loring, whose unforgettable presence on Mount Desert Island spanned 60 years of the Rusticator Era, as well as noted Passamaquoddy guide and artist Tomah Joseph. The stories told, and research presented represent years of collective work with the four tribes in Maine, the Abbe Museum, and Acadia National Park. Through images, objects and stories, Abbe visitors will enjoy learning about a layer of Mount Desert Island history that few know about. The exhibit is designed to give the visitor a “you are there” immersion experience with a replica of a Wabanaki sale tent with living space, a reproduction of the Bar Harbor wharf and a wide array of “hands-on” components. Visual images, many recently discovered, will help to create a time travel-like experience. A great variety of cultural artifacts sold by Wabanakis to tourists and rusticators will also be featured, including basketry, bark work, wood carvings, feather work, beadwork, and quillwork. These objects help to illustrate the historical depth of the role Wabanaki art played in the cultural and economic survival of the Wabanaki people, and in making Bar Harbor a unique destination for rusticators and today's visitors. A reception will be held on July 8th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm with free admission to the museum. For more information, please call 207-288-3519 or visit the Abbe Museum website.
