Muster on the Wabash
The encampment, presented by the Vincennes State Historic Sites, takes place on the site of the former historic Fort Knox II, just 3 miles north of Vincennes next to Ouabache Trails County Park.
More than 150 re-enactors, including militia, U.S. Infantry soldiers and American Indians, will demonstrate what life was like in the early 1800s. Pioneer crafts such as woodworking, tinsmithing, blacksmithing and wool spinning will be exhibited.
Don’t miss crowd favorites such as the patrol with Harrison’s troops, the Tecumseh-Harrison confrontation and a battle each day.
Food and period vendors complete the atmosphere at Muster on the Wabash in portraying early Vincennes history. Fort Knox II was built in 1803, three miles north of Vincennes on the Wabash River. In 1810, Captain Zachary Taylor strengthened the fort and Shawnee Leader Tecumseh visited it. In 1811, Indiana Territorial Governor William Henry Harrison “mustered” his troops here before the Battle of Tippecanoe. The fort’s stockade is marked with short posts and interpretive signs.

About the Battle of Tippecanoe (from Wikipedia)
The Battle of Tippecanoe was fought on November 7, 1811, in what is now Battle Ground, Indiana, between American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison of the Indiana Territory and Native American warriors associated with the Shawnee leader Tecumseh. Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa (commonly known as “The Prophet”) were leaders of a confederacy of Native Americans from various tribes that opposed US expansion into Native territory. As tensions and violence increased, Governor Harrison marched with an army of about 1,000 men to disperse the confederacy’s headquarters at Prophetstown, near the confluence of the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers.
Tecumseh, not yet ready to oppose the United States by force, was away recruiting allies when Harrison’s army arrived. Tenskwatawa, a spiritual leader but not a military man, was in charge. Harrison camped near Prophetstown on November 6 and arranged to meet with Tenskwatawa the following day. Early the next morning, however, warriors from Prophetstown attacked Harrison’s army. Although the outnumbered attackers took Harrison’s army by surprise, Harrison and his men stood their ground for more than two hours. The Native Americans were ultimately repulsed when their ammunition ran low. After the battle, they abandoned Prophetstown and Harrison’s men burned it to the ground, destroying the food supplies stored for the winter. The soldiers returned to their homes.
Harrison, having accomplished his goal of destroying Prophetstown, proclaimed he had won a decisive victory. He gained the nickname “Tippecanoe”, which was popularized in the campaign song “Tippecanoe and Tyler too” during the presidential election of 1840, which Harrison won. The defeat was a setback for Tecumseh’s confederacy from which it never fully recovered.[3][4]
American public opinion blamed the violence on British interference in American affairs through financial and munitions support for the Indians. This led to a further deterioration of relations with Britain and was a catalyst of the War of 1812, which began six months later. By the time the US declared war on the United Kingdom in June 1812, Tecumseh’s confederacy was ready to launch its war against the United States in alliance with the British. In preparation, the Natives soon rebuilt Prophetstown. Frontier violence in the region would continue until well after the War of 1812, although Tecumseh was killed in 1813 during the Battle of the Thames.

About Fort Ticonderoga
Fort Ticonderoga, named Carillon by the French in 1755 and known to the soldiers in the American Revolution as “the old French Fort,” stood at the center of two wars and five battles. By 1820, the “old French Fort” had fallen into ruins when William Ferris Pell purchased the land and began one of America’s earliest preservation efforts. During the 19th century, the ruins of the fort stood at the center of inspiration for writers, artists, and travelers who visited the scenic and historic Ticonderoga peninsula. In 1908, the Fort’s restoration and reconstruction began launching the earliest restoration effort in America. Today, the fort sits at the center of the Ticonderoga experience where guests can explore museum exhibitions, interact with historic trades staff, and participate in lively daily programs and special events and reenactments. Whether it is your first time to Fort Ticonderoga or you have been visiting the fort for decades, it’s never too early to start planning your next adventure.

Powwows, like the Honoring The Veterans Powwow at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, are public events anyone can go to. But, there are a few things that first timers should learn to expect. Most instructions will come from the announcer so make sure you’re paying attention. Certain parts of a powwow ask the public to stand for events such as the grand entry, flag song or honor songs. Some dances, like intertribals and round dances, are open to the public and some are not. The announcer will inform the public when they can enter the arena to participate in a dance. Cameras are allowed and welcome, but occasionally you’ll be asked not to photograph certain events and if you’d like to stop a dancer and take a picture with them, the proper thing to do is to ask their permission first. The dancer’s outfit is commonly referred to as “regalia” and for Powwow dancers this is a way of life and not a show for the public so respect for their regalia is also key. Please do not touch a dancer’s regalia unless invited. Other than that, enjoy the music, dance, food, art and celebration that are going on and make sure you have a good time. For more information, see the Powwow FAQ below.

What is a Powwow?
A Powwow is a gathering of men, women and children from different Native American nations. Friends, family and new people come together to sing, dance, share food, present their craftwork and socialize. These cultural events preserve Native American traditions and heritage.
What is a Veteran’s Powwow?
The respect shown to veterans is an integral part of the Native American culture. Native Americans have a rich history in the United States Military. The veterans of today are shown the same honor and respect as the warriors of times past. At Veterans Powwows, Native and non-Native veterans alike are especially venerated for their service.
I’m not Native American, are Powwows for me?
Yes! Powwows are at their core family and community events and we want to share our culture and traditions with you!
Why are there Head Judges?
Powwows added dance competitions as part of the celebration which began decades ago; where exceptional dancers were recognized with “prizes” like blankets and quilts. This tradition evolved to awarding money as the prize and has since become part of the celebration. Modern day Powwows like our Veteran’s Powwow invite dancers to come and celebrate, but also to have the chance to showcase their skills and compete against one another which adds to the excitement of the event. Head judges are respected dancers hired by the Powwow committee to oversee the dance competition and insure fair judging of the dancers.
What is an Arena Director?
The Arena Director is the individual responsible for keeping track of the singers, dancers and dance competitions and any other live events happening during the Powwow. The Arena Director works with the announcer to keep the Powwow organized and well-coordinated.
What is the Grand Entry?
Each powwow begins with a Grand Entry or procession of dancers serving as the “bringing together of tribes.” Dancers enter the dance circle by age and style of regalia. They are guided by two lead dancers, a male and a female, who follow the presentation of flags. Similar to the National Anthem, the Flag Song is the Native American way of honoring traditional native, state, and American flags. The audience is expected to stand during this time.

About the Seige in 1777
Fort Mifflin, which was originally called Fort Island Battery, was commissioned in 1771. It was also known as Mud Island Fort because it sits on Mud Island (also known as Deep Water Island) on the Delaware River near the Philadelphia International Airport. During the American Revolutionary War, the British Army bombarded and captured the fort as part of their conquest of Philadelphia in autumn 1777.
During the siege, 400 American soldiers held off more than 2,000 British troops and over 250 ships that had been responsible for launching an endless barrage of cannonballs into the fort. After five days of holding off the British, the American troops evacuated the fort after having successfully denied the British Navy free use of the Delaware River.

The Fort Lee Historic Park Retreat to Victory commemorates the retreat Washington made across New Jersey in summer/fall 1776. It was north of here around Closter that the British and Hessians crossed the Hudson river and began to head towards patriot positions in force. After being alerted by the Closter rider, the Americans began their retreat from Fort Lee eventually all the way across New Jersey to the Delaware River before Christmas.
The area has been preserved and rebuilt, and while not to revolutionary war specifications it does give the public and reenactor alike a sense of the fortifications built there. The day is climaxed with the B.A.R. general salute and marching to the monument where refreshments are served to reenactors after a massive Brigade volley is fired.

About the Scott Massacre of 1817
Scott’s detachment consisted of 40 soldiers, 7 women and 4 children. By the time the smoke cleared, the lieutenant, 34 men, 6 women and all 4 children were dead. The Native American forces also suffered casualties but the numbers are not known. It was the first U.S. defeat of the Seminole Wars and was ultimately the key factor in Spain’s agreement to cede Florida to the United States. You can learn more in Dale Cox’s book The Scott Massacre of 1817.

About Mile Branch Settlement
If you want to see how the first pioneers lived in Louisiana, you can immerse yourself a village of log cabins in Washington Parish known as Mile Branch Settlement. Mile Branch Settlement is open only twice each year during the Washington Parish Fair in the third week of October and during the Pioneer Christmas celebration, held the first weekend of December.

About 150 years ago, a small community in Washington Parish would have looked a lot like this. These log cabin homes were built by real Louisiana pioneers. The historical Mile Branch Settlement is located on the Washington Parish Fairgrounds in Franklinton, LA. When a visitor steps through the unpainted picket fence and walks past the Richardson Gatehouse, it is like entering another time period. A time where life coursed much slower like the bordering creek for which the settlement was named. You will find 19th century attired volunteers serving sassafras tea with gingerbread, grinding corn into meal or grits, cutting huge hoop-cheese slices, and the extracting and cooking of cane syrup.
Mark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next Mile Branch Settlement Christmas on the first weekend in December at the Mile Branch Settlement Christmas located at the Washington Parish Fairgrounds in Franklinton, Louisiana.

Colonel Knox is Now at Ticonderoga Mini-Gallery

Step 240 years into the past at Fort Ticonderoga, as if it were December 6, 1775, during this dramatic living history event. Henry Knox rode into Ticonderoga to dispatch thousands of pounds of artillery to General Washington. This event will highlight how Knox’s wealth of knowledge, coupled with the teamsters and draft animals moved 60 tons of ordnance to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Demonstrations utilizing oxen and horses will dramatically feature the logistical challenge Knox faced with moving the heavy artillery while museum interpretive staff will present programs on the science of gunnery including cannon demonstrations.
Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the inspirational story of Henry Knox, the unassuming Boston book seller, whose physical and mental might would be first tested with the ‘noble train’ of artillery. See man power and oxen power in action as fifty-nine cannons and mortars are carefully selected from Fort Ticonderoga. Witness the struggle for liberty and hardships soldiers faced while serving at Ticonderoga in the winter of 1775-1776. Lend a hand to the carpenters repairing Fort Ticonderoga, and learn about the material needs and productions of the new fledging American army and the resources needed for Knox’s epic journey to Boston.”

Knox’s story in many ways represents one of the other great revolutions of the 18th century, the transmission of technical and theoretical knowledge through books. With no military background or education, Knox was able to develop his skills through the world of print that linked together the knowledge of the Western world and beyond.

Historical Background of “Colonel Knox is Now at Ticonderoga”:
The siege of Boston, April 19, 1775 – March 17, 1776 was the opening phase of the American Revolutionary War in which New England militiamen, who later became part of the Continental Army, surrounded the town of Boston, Massachusetts, to prevent movement by the British Army garrisoned within. In November 1775, Washington sent a 25 year-old bookseller-turned-soldier, Henry Knox, to bring heavy artillery that had been captured at Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. Knox knew the challenge before him as he wrote to George Washington on December 5, 1775.
The garrison at Ticonderoga is so weak, the conveyance from the fort to the landing is so difficult, the passage across the lake so precarious, that I am afraid it will be ten days at least before I can get them on this side. When they are here, the conveyance from hence will depend entirely on the sledding; if that is wood, they shall immediately move forward; without sledding, the roads are so much gullied that it will be impossible to move a step.
In a technically complex and demanding operation, Knox began the “Noble Train” in January 1776 at Ticonderoga and carried sixty tons of artillery through the dead of winter to Boston in just forty days. In March 1776, these artillery pieces were used to fortify Dorchester Heights, overlooking Boston and its harbor and threatening the British naval supply lifeline. The British commander William Howe, realizing he could no longer hold the town, chose to evacuate it. He withdrew the British forces, departing on March 17, for Halifax, Nova Scotia thus giving Washington his first great victory of the war.
Fort Ticonderoga is the location of the first Knox Trail marker in the Knox cannon trail that traces the route of the Noble Train. The Fort Ticonderoga Museum owns 2 original artillery pieces that made the epic journey in the winter of 1776.

Rate This Event

Don’t miss the 33rd Annual NARA New Years Eve Sobriety Powwow on December 31, 2018 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon. The NARA New Years Eve Sobriety Powwow is one of the largest sobriety new year powwows in the country, and is certainly the largest New Year’s pary in Portland, where thousands of Native Americans and others will close out the year with drums, songs, dance – and not a drop of alcohol!

NARA New Years Eve Sobriety Powwow
The Native American Rehabilitation Association – NARA New Years Eve Sobriety Powwow, is once again expected to draw thousands of participants and spectators. The free event unfolds in stages from noon to midnight with activities that include: NARA Honorings, Sobriety Count Down, Dance Performances and Art and Craft Vendors.
Philip Archambault, NARA’s traditional cultural director, Hunkpapa Lakota member and Saturday’s master of ceremonies, started the annual powwow in a Southeast Portland school, where it drew scarcely more than 100 people. The success of the annual NARA New Years Eve Sobriety Pow Wow is demonstrated by the size of the venue it has grown into: the Oregon Convention Center.
The NARA New Years Eve Sobriety Pow Wow a big deal for the Native American community, which has historically faced trouble with alcohol. Alcoholism, however, plagues people of all ethnicities and backgrounds, a fact that can become more apparent at booze-heavy holidays like New Year’s Eve, which is celebrated by virtually every community in the country.
This is why the NARA New Years Eve Sobriety Pow Wow is so popular in Portland. It offers the rare party that’s big but also sober, providing a safe and comfortable space with a Native American community that knows alcoholism too well.
