“Kchi Pontegok” The Historic Landscape of the Bellows Falls Petroglyphs

This program will be the premiere presentation of Annette Spaulding’s findings while exploring Kchi Pontegok or “The Great Falls”, a Western Abenaki sacred site, on the Connecticut River. She will be showing slides and video of the spiritual petroglyph site at Bellows Falls. This will include the area’s amazing geological formation of potholes and whirlpools and some of the wildlife that call it home. It will also feature newly discovered sacred offerings of white quartz made hundreds of years ago by Native Americans. Are there more petroglyphs hidden underwater? Annette continues to explore the possibilities.
