NEW GLOUCESTER — Baskets, birch bark vessels, bead work and jewelry made by 25-plus artists of the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Micmac and Maliseet tribes will be featured at the fourth annual Maine Native American Summer Market and Demonstration.

Molly Neptune Parker of Princeton, matriarch of four generations of Passamaquoddy basket weavers and the 2012 National Heritage Fellowship winner, will be recognized at the event on Saturday, Aug. 25.

The fourth annual market and demonstration at historic Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village will for the first time feature performances by the Penobscot Nation’s Burnurwurbskek Singers and the Passamaquoddy Sipayik Dance Troupe.

There will also be storytelling and flute playing by David Sanipass, a member of the Aroostook Band of Micmac.

Parker, who is president of the Maine Indian Basketmaker’s Alliance and recognized as a master teacher, received the Traditional Artist Fellowship award by the Maine Arts Commission in 2007. She mentors her nephew, George Neptune.

The market and demonstration, supported by the Maine Arts Commission and the Maine Community Foundation, blends traditions of the Wabanaki people and the Shakers, who long ago shared ideas about basket making and herbal medicine. Later, they worked side by side selling their goods to tourists at hotels across the state.

Singing and dancing will be performed under the century-old maple tree where Shaker Elder Joseph Brackett, a Shaker leader and composer of the famous song, “Simple Gifts,” resided.

“The key is the audience — not just to observe but as spectators to join together in honoring these traditions by hearing and witnessing these traditions in an expression of spirituality,” said Michael Graham, curator at the Shaker Museum.

Songs will be sung in the language of the Wabanaki people, the People of the Dawn, who make up Maine’s Native American tribes.

“It’s absolutely impossible to be unaffected as a spectator by hearing and seeing the power of this music and dance,” Graham said.

Participating artists, besides Molly Neptune Parker, include George Neptune, Kim Bryant, Pam and Jacob Cunningham, Butch Jacobs, Jeremy Frey, Ganessa Bryant, Fred Tomah, Caron Shay, Roxanne Carlson, Paula Love Thorne, Gal Frey, Stuart Tomah, Michael Silliboy, David Moses Bridges, Barry Dana, Janice Francis, Wilma Mariano Shay, Brenda Moore Mitchell and Richard “Zeke” Love.

The summer market and demonstration, organized in co-operation with the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, will be held from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., rain or shine. Admission is free. Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village is at 707 Shaker Road (Route 26). For more information, call 926-4597 or visit www.shaker.lib.me.us.
