Peace Pole

James Kidder II

In early September, Mrs. Davie, the librarian at BMU, tasked a high school senior to wood burn the word “Peace” in multiple different languages on a pole to be used for Peace Day. The languages used were English, Chinese, Gujarati, and Abenaki. English, Chinese, and Gujarati are spoken at Blue Mountain, while Abenaki was used because the pole was planted on soil that belonged to the Abenaki Tribe.
