(Image: Kani Malsom, Passamaquoddy, Dancing at the 2008 Native American Festival in Bar Harbor; Photo by Anna Travers) (Bar Harbor, ME) The exhibit explores the ways in which the Micmac, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot tribes are asserting their sovereignty in many different areas including the retention of native languages, the recognition of native veterans, controversies regarding gaming and the environmental management of traditional territory, among others. Headline News seeks to engage the visitor and raise awareness of contemporary challenges to Maine’s Native peoples. Visitors will have the opportunity to reflect on Native perspectives while exploring these topics through a variety of media. On display will be an assortment of new and old artifacts including: objects made of ash, birch bark, cedar, porcupine quills, and sweet grass, natural history specimens and faunal remains, hunting and trapping equipment, books and CDs illustrating the four languages, traditional games, maps, photographs, a full-sized birch bark canoe, and much more. This exhibit will run through April 2011. |
