2005 Native American Area Application (PDF Format - 85Kb) April 25, 2005 Dear Native Americans, May 16th . Please remember, a Maine Native American must make all items for sale in the Native American tent and be a registered member of one of the four federally recognized tribes in Maine: Penobscot Nation, Passamaquoddy Tribe, Aroostook Band of Micmacs, or the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians. Vendors may not sell commercially mass-produced or plastic items. And the final reminder is that the Fair strictly prohibits raffles and smoking in tents. In addition to providing a great sales outlet for vendors, the Native American area presents an opportunity for bridge building between native and non-native people. The majority of the public has little or no knowledge about the Native People of Maine, but Common Ground Country Fair is helping to change that. One of the ways that we can educate fairgoers about our heritage is through traditional performance art and demonstrations. We would like to increase the number of singing, dancing and drumming performances so if you, or any of your Maine Native American friends and family would like to participate, please contact Theresa Secord or Jennifer Neptune at the number below. Thanks for helping to spread the word. Please make sure to get your application in early and send only the $5.00 application fee | |
