Description
Join Chris Sockalexis, Penobscot artist, as he demonstrates and shares knowledge of the ancient art and technique of stone and bone tool production.
In addition to his art and his work as the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Penobscot Nation, Chris is currently conducting research for his Masters of Science degree at the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, with his thesis work focusing on Cultural Identity and Maritime Adaptation in Frenchman Bay, Maine. Chris is one of the lead singers of the RezDogs, an intertribal powwow drum group based out of Indian Island, Maine. He serves on the Abbe Museum board and is also an avid canoe/kayak paddler who loves being out in the Maine woods and on the waterways that his ancestors have traveled for thousands of years.
The Cultural Connections in the Park series occurs on occasional Wednesdays from late June through October. Please check the Abbe Museum website for upcoming programs.
