Snow Snake Decorating Workshop
Dec

Snow Snake Decorating Workshop

Pson-Skoks, or Snow Snake, is a winter game which has been played by many Northeastern Tribal Nations for generations. Join Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum on December 6th at 1:00pm for the chance to decorate your own snow snake to use later in the season during our annual Snow Snake Games on February 21.

This workshop is open to people of all ages, and is especially fun when you participate as a family! Each person (or “team” if you attend with your family) can experience the fun of shaping, sanding, painting, and even woodburning a snow snake. The workshop will also include a brief history of the game and its origins.

The cost for attending the workshop and decorating one snow snake is $30 for non-members, and $25 for members.

There are only 12 blank snow snakes available to decorate, so don’t let this opportunity slide away! Tickets for the workshop can be purchased here.

Presented by Bill Gould and Darryl Peasley of the Abenaki Trails Project.

Book Club: The Berry Pickers

Book Club: The Berry Pickers

We’re excited to share that our upcoming selection is a meaningful shift from our recent reads. We’ll be diving into The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters, a moving work of fiction that blends mystery, memory, and identity.

Amanda Peters—of Mi’kmaq and settler ancestry—infuses the story with a rich cultural perspective that deepens its emotional impact. This is a novel that invites reflection as much as it inspires discussion.

As you read, consider this:
How do the stories we inherit—spoken or unspoken—shape who we become?

We can’t wait to explore this one with all of you January 28th at 5:30pm via Zoom.

Called “dashing and extraordinary” by The Strad Magazine, the Apple Hill String Quartet serves as the Artistic Directors and Resident Ensemble at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music, winner of the CMAcclaim award from Chamber Music America. As the Music Directors for Apple Hill’s Summer Chamber Music Workshop in Nelson, New Hampshire, they welcome 300 students annually, cultivating connection among people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and ages through Apple Hill’s guiding philosophy, Playing for Peace. During the regular concert season, the Quartet performs concerts and conducts educational residencies locally in New Hampshire, nationally in major U.S. cities, and internationally around the globe—in venues as diverse as the Curtis Institute of Music, Oberlin Conservatory, the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College, the University of Iowa String Quartet Residency Program, ChatterABQ, Burncoat High School in Worcester, Project STEP in Boston, Cedarcrest Center for Children with Disabilities in Keene, NH, the Ketermaya refugee camp outside Beirut, Lebanon, the Moscow Conservatory, the Conservatorio National de Musica in Lima, Peru, the Gitameit Music School in Yangon, Myanmar, and the Harrisville General Store.
