Please join us for Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museums Annual Winter Celebration December 10th from 10:00 to 4:00.

11:00 Abenaki storyteller Willow Greene will share stories passed down to her by family members and generations of Abenaki storytellers.
12:00 Hears Crow, a Narragansett storyteller and poet will keep the Narragansett traditions alive with songs and stories of "the old ones."

2:00 Abenaki storytellers Ken Quiet Hawk and Deb New Moon Rising, winners of Native American Music Awards for Best Spoken Word Recordings, and nominated for Best Male and Female Artist will present traditional stories for an early winter afternoon.
