Interacting with Wabanaki-Maine History
Tue., Jun. 3, at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Registration will be capped at 40 people; the cost is $50 per person and includes lunch.
Join the Wabanaki REACH on Tuesday June 3rd from 10 to 12 at the Viles Arbortoreum for an interactive experience in which they engage in a story of particular events in the history of 400 years of colonization of Wabanaki people by Europeans in this territory now called the state of Maine. This highly engaging experience requires our full participation in order to genuinely increase our understanding of colonization and what it means for current descendants and future generations; to reflect on what story we are writing for our grandchildren.
Following the workshop, we invite you to a post-workshop lunch. This is a valuable opportunity for participants to digest the information and share their thoughts in a relaxed and inclusive setting.
MCHT is part of a collective effort in Maine aimed at developing a new conservation ethic that promotes Wabanaki access to lands and waters. One small step that MCHT is taking is to invite cultural access by Wabanaki people to MCHT preserves through this initiative created with the Wabanaki Commission on Land and Stewardship.
