If you have interest in the culture and artifacts of the Native Americans from the Northeast then you will want to visit the Abenaki Tribal Museum in the community to Swanton, Vermont.  The actual artifacts along with the reproductions of their lives will tell the story of the tribe from thousands of years ago to the present day.Enjoy watching the Pow Wow held in May over Memorial Day Weekend when the dancing adds to the cultural life of the tribe.  Here spectators are invited to participate in one of the dances and watch the rest.  The colorful, beaded outfits of the tribal members will dazzle your eyes and make you wish you could do the handiwork their cloths display.This area of Northeast Vermont is the home of the tribe but their ancestral home is between here and Quebec, Canada lands.  Long before the settlers moved to this area the Native Americans made their home here.  It is well worth a visit to the area if you have an interest in the history of not only our country but the Native American lifetime before the settlers moved in.
