Our Latest Newsletter: Public Hearings, new Wabanaki Windows and Wabanaki Voices, and more!

We have had a busy few weeks at the legislature! We have testified on four bills in this short session dealing with tribal sovereignty, access to federal beneficial acts, wetland protections regarding landfill expansions, and tribal conservation easements. We are so thankful for the support around our homelands from tribal leaders and citizens, lawmakers, and our many allies and friends. 

If you missed the public hearing or you want another opportunity to speak with your legislators about Wabanaki sovereignty, please join us at the State House on Tuesday, March 3 for our Lobby Day. You can also keep up with the status of bills on our website and social media.   

Mark your calendar, pack the car and join us at a historic forum in Houlton on Thursday, March 19, when candidates for governor come to Wabanaki homelands in Houlton. We are tremendously excited and pleased that tribal self-determination and the wellbeing of our people are on the hearts and minds of candidates seeking elected office. We look forward to hearing in detail their positions and priorities on issues important to the Wabanaki Nations.

Spring is coming and we wish you warmth and peace as we finish winter and look ahead.

Woliwoni!
