Wabanaki Alliance
@wabanakialliance.bsky.social
The Wabanaki Alliance was formed to educate people and to advocate for the rights of the Wabanaki Nations, in the place we now call Maine.
This was a talk on Wabanaki peoples’ continuing relationships with the waters that sustain life in the region, and included a collaboration between them on “Song of the Watersheds”, a poetic/photographic reflection on what it means to consider “all our relations” when we think about a river.

In the ME legislature, there are ongoing efforts to ensure that both Wabanaki and African American studies are properly taught in ME schools. This is already required by long standing law in the state of ME, but these laws have taken decades to implement, having never received the necessary funding.

Part of this important work includes ensuring that this shared history is integrated fully and honestly into the ME curriculum. Many misconceptions and falsehoods can be corrected if we collectively work to better educate ourselves and our students about the history of ALL peoples in this country.
