75th Anniversary Talk: Connect with Abenaki Storytelling Traditions

Thousands of years before Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary was established, this land was home to the Indigenous peoples of the Northeast. Storyteller Anne Jennison brings their living traditions into the present through captivating performances of Abenaki, Wabanaki, and other Northeast Woodlands Native American stories—weaving together humor, drama, and moments of wonder that draw listeners into a shared connection with the natural and human world around them.

This program is part of Ipswich River's 75th anniversary celebration. Special thanks to New England Biolabs Foundation, and the Essex National Heritage Commission, for their support of our anniversary celebrations.
