Wabanaki Beadwork - Whitefield, New Hampshire

Rhonda Besaw is coming to the Lupine Market with her traditional and contemporary beadwork - purses and earrings.. She'll also be demonstrating this Abenaki Indian craft that has been handed down over the years. Click here to learn more about the demonstrations.

She is one of the small number of beadworkers who specializes in traditional Wabanaki style beadwork and is known for herWabanaki style beaded purses. In the 1800's and early 1900's, the Wabanaki tribes of New England and Eastern Canada and the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) of New York State and Canada, sold beaded purses to tourists. Many young Native women during this time, including one of Rhonda's Native ancestors, were schooled by nuns in Quebec, and encouraged to do and sell such handiwork. Although the selling of these purses was a matter of economic survival for these Native peoples, they still incorporated traditional design motifs and sacred symbols in their beadwork. Stop by to watch her demonstrate this historic craft.

S.T.OP - Sugar Hill Tower Opposition - Sugar Hill, New Hampshire

STOP: Sugar Hill Tower Opponents is a group of concerned citizens opposed to the Northern Pass Transmission Project. They believe that the very high towers will deface our landscape, have a negative impact on the environment, damage our economy, depress property values, and have a serious overall negative impact on Sugar Hill and New Hampshire. Take a minute to visit this tent to learn more about the Northern Pass from the citizen point of view and pick up some of the materials that they will have available.. This is a simulated photo of what the towers might look like and the proposed route takes them through the heart of NH including the Great North Woods and the White Mountains. You can click here for directions to several links about the Northern Pass. STOP will set up at both of the Lupine Festival Markets.
