[br]Had a great day at the Fort at No. 4 today. Aside from the usual Abenaki (they were there too) there were two Pequot & one Mi'kmaq. The Mi'kmaq were from Atlantic Canada & northern Maine. In fact there was a young Pequot squaw too. She played the part of a squaw, - didn't pretend to be a warrior. It was a tad cool & these folks weren't wearing much - more power to them. - The Vermont Abenaki Chief played a small drum (tom-tom?) & sang two songs - in the Abenaki language, really good.  - Another spoke for a few minutes in the Algonquin language & then translated what he had just said ... While I was there (late morning to about 1:00P) the turn-out was low, but as I was leaving there was a number of cars driving in - so the afternoon turn-out was better. About 99% of the event was held inside.

Monadnock Hiker	Posted - November 07 2021 : 10:54:22 AM Yes, - Snapper was at the trading counter when that pic was taken - but over near the fireplace when he told me he knew you. - He apparently had over-heard me talking with one of the Abenaki's about THIS site. - He said "you know Fitz??? - I told him no, but we post on this site & I'll be posting a few pics later today & he (Fitz) will probably see you. - I have a few more pics if anyone is interested - but they're pretty much like these. . Unfortunately, the Fort just cancelled it's annual "Harvest Dinner" for this year. That will be the second year in a row - Covid. ... The "Grand Hall" is always packed and it's $45.00 per person ($90.00/couple) - the food is donated by he local markets/merchants & it's probably the biggest single money maker the Fort has. - Everytime I go I donate a few bucks to the "roof fund" - a separate "dedicated fund" for the roof only - not general expenses. - Great to hear about the Pequawket Alliance donating $2000.00 for roof repairs - much appreciated I'm sure . - Don't recall hearing Ken Hamilton's name - but I didn't know most of the folks that where there.
Fitzhugh Williams	Posted - November 07 2021 : 08:25:11 AM I would like to have been at that one. That was Snapper behind the trader's counter, right? I haven't seen him in 10 years! I see they had some nice "Michel Nicol" Saintonge pottery there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that. After all, I have it siting in my dining room as well. There is a family I know from the Bangor, Maine area that usually do these types of events. His name is Ken Hamilton. I didn't recognize anyone as him. The Pequawket Alliance had their annual Fall meeting there on Oct. 31. From what I saw it was a good turnout. Of course, it was just a Unit meeting so not for the public unless they happened to be there. I understand that they made a $2000 contribution to the Fort for roof repairs. I am sure it was welcome. Maybe some day I can get back up there. I even had to miss an event this weekend at Fort Toulouse, AL. Just too much going on with the family.
