As the maple leaves turn red and plant friends begin to fruit and flower, we are also welcoming one of the well-celebrated East/Southeast Asian festival - Mid-Autumn Festival, which is deeply connected with culture, community, and land.
With the peak harvest season having come to the Knoll, it is time to celebrate this abundance together with friends and loved ones. Join us for a Mid-Autumn Harvest Festival at the Knoll with music, performances, and food!
This public event will welcome a delegation of Maori and Pasifika colleagues visiting Middlebury College from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Panel members will discuss the role of purakau (storytelling), waiata (song), and whakatauki (proverbs) in Indigenous Maori and Polynesian practices of wellbeing and planetary stewardship. Through the teachings of the kuaka, a shorebird known for its remarkable migration from Aotearoa to North America, this event invites attendees to explore the idea that journeys are collective and community futures can soar in spaces of mutual learning, responsibility, and relationship.
