About
Jesse Bowman Bruchac is an author, traditional storyteller, and language teacher from the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation, a state-recognized tribe in Vermont. For three decades Jesse has been immersed in Algonquian language reclamation efforts. He is the founder and director of the School of Abenaki at Middlebury College. He has lectured at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, and worked with PBS, AMC, and the BBC as translator, language coach, and composer.
His music has been a primary driver in language reclamation efforts and has been featured in television, film, and radio. He’s performed at the Clearwater Festival, Old Songs, and our beloved local Dance Flurry.
Tonight he will share traditional Abenaki folklore with music.
