Returning by popular demand, join Jesse Bowman Bruchac for โAlgonquian Continuance and Community,โ culminating his 30-year dedication to Algonquian language reclamation. Jesse's work, highlighted by his role in reviving the Virginia Algonquian language during the PBS series Jamestown, now extends to a three-year initiative with seven Virginia Tribes supported by an ANA grant. Collaborating with Dr. Conor M. Quinn, Jesseโs efforts span from the University of Southern Maine to Middlebury College, where he founded the School of Abenaki. During the presentation, Jesse will showcase the implementation of the Minimal Course, a pioneering language-teaching methodology, through engaging activities and examples. Expect traditional and contemporary music, including an original song in the Western Abenaki dialect encapsulating the Minimal Courseโs essence. This event promises to demonstrate the transformative impact of language revitalization and community building.
Members $15; Nonmembers: 20.

The Mark Connolly Distinguished Speaker Series honors the legacy of Mark Connolly, a former Strawbery Banke Museum Trustee and prominent figure in finance, literature, and politics. In April 2019, following his passing, the Museum embarked on a mission to commemorate Connolly's memory and continue his dedication to intellectual discourse and civic engagement.
Connollyโs varied career, including roles as Director of the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities, an accomplished author, and a Democratic candidate for Governor, exemplified his unwavering commitment to public service and belief in the transformative power of education and dialogue.
Inspired by Connollyโs enduring spirit, Strawbery Banke initiated the distinguished lecture series to provide a platform for leading national speakers to explore a wide range of topics, from history and art to politics and current events. The Mark Connolly Distinguished Speakers Series aims to spark thought-provoking discussions and nurture intellectual curiosity within the community, ensuring that Connolly's legacy of civic responsibility and the pursuit of knowledge continues to inspire future generations.
