Burlington International Airport History Exhibit
Burlington International Airport
Pieces of our culture are now on public display in a museum created at Burlington International Airport to educate the 1.4 million people who fly in and out of Burlington annually. Our Chief, Don Stevens, says he wants to convey the main message that the Abenaki people, who first inhabited Vermont 11,000 years ago, are still here.
This exhibit will be on display for at least the next five years. You will see samples of our regalia, artwork, tools, and so much more. This would be a great activity for your family on a Sunday afternoon!
Abenaki Exhibit at New Hampshire Fire Academy
New Hampshire Fire Academy & Emergency Medical Services Hosts Abenaki Display
This display was created to inform citizens about aspects of New Hampshire’s Indigenous culture and to highlight that the Abenaki People and other Indigenous citizens are still here and are active and productive members of society. We would especially like to thank the Mount Kearsarge Indian Museum for all their advice and assistance. We would also like to thank the New Hampshire Fire Academy for hosting the display, particularly Christopher Rousseau, for inviting us and organizing the display.

Indigenous Expressions Exhibit
Built-in collaboration with scholars and experts, including Smithsonian Institution Archaeologist and Anthropologist Stephen Loring and Abenaki Historian Frederick Wiseman, this exhibit explores the human-landscape connections that go back thousands of years, from the Paleoindians of the last Ice Age to the Abenaki and Mohawk today.
