The "People of the Dawnland" (Abenaki/Waba naki) of the Northeast are the first Indigenous peoples in North America t o have had contact with Europeans. \;In this \;presentation\, \;Anne Jennison examines how European colonization \;of North America impacted generations of Abenaki/Wabanaki people \;and \;highlights the ways in which the Abenaki/Wabanaki peoples \;have acted \;as agents of their own change through education\, self-advocacy\, efforts to revitalize their languages and traditional arts\, and by working with arch eologists\, anthropologists\, and scientists to recover and reveal more ab out their history and traditional knowledge. \;
\nAnne Jennison is a traditional Native American storyteller and historian of European and Abenaki heritage. While Anne's storytelling skills have been polished by more than 30 years of experience sharing Indigenous lesson stories with au diences of all kinds\, she also believes that her growth and development a s a human being has been deeply influenced by internalizing the content of the Northeastern lesson stories that she tells. With master&rsquo\;s degr ees in both Storytelling and History\, Anne brings a wealth of cultural an d historical knowledge to enrich her retelling of timeless Northeast Woodl ands Native American stories. \; \;
\nAdditionally\, Anne is the current Chair of the NH Commission on Native American Affairs\, a mem ber of the the Indigenous NH Collaborative Collective\, an affiliate facul ty member for the University of New Hampshire Native American and Indigeno us Studies (NAIS) Minor\, and a co-creator of the "People of the Dawnland" interpretive exhibit about the Abenaki/Wabanaki peoples at Strawbery Bank e Museum in Portsmouth\, NH. Anne continues to act as a consultant for the museum&rsquo\;s ongoing Abenaki Heritage Initiative - a plan to develop a nd sustain exhibits and events at Strawbery Banke Museum that focus on the history and culture of the Abenaki\, Indigenous peoples of New Hampshire and the Northeast\, both past and present. \;
