23 "Playing Indian" at Adirondack Children's Camps – Program presented
at the Old Forge Library at 7pm by Hallie E. Bond, Curator at the Adirondack Museum
at Blue Mt. since 1987. Suggested donation - $3. Have you ever wondered why children's
camps are so, well - Indian? Do Wah-Na-Gi and Hoh-Wa-Tah really mean anything
in any known native language? Children's camps often have totem poles, "war
canoes," and council fires. And then there are the camp people like "Chief"
Abbott who founded the Adirondack Woodcraft Camps and "Chief" Beckman
who directed Camp Dudley for forty years. A simple explanation is that Americans
have always liked to "play" Indian. This program will offer a more complete
answer, glimpses of Adirondack history and information about one of the country's
most interesting youth leaders. Sponsored by the Town of Webb Historical Association
in conjunction with the current exhibit “Camp Memories – Youth Camps”
on display until October 31, 2009.
