Wabanaki Stories in Waterville, ME

Presented in cooperation with Portland Ovations.

The land and waters known as Maine have been home to Wabanaki People for over 12,000 years. Wabanaki stories and music spotlights four Wabanaki artists coming from several different nations and traditions. Musician Tania Morey (Tobique) sings of the Wolastoq; Jennifer Pictou (Mi’kmaq) regales with spirit stories told in the company of a large puppet; Dwayne Tomah (Passamaquoddy) shares stories that showcase his native language, Passamaquoddy; Ashton Altvater aka Undeniable the Native (Passamaquoddy) delights with original rap and hip hop; and Jason Brown aka Firefly (Penobscot) electrifies with cutting-edge technology blended with ancient frequencies. Director, artist and author Chris Newell (Passamaquoddy) intersperses each with music and narration. Wabanaki Stories demonstrates the depth and breadth of Wabanaki storytelling and artistry.
