  • A. Administrative - Opening
    • 1. Land Acknowledgement
      We would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the first people of Wabanakek or Dawnland. The Passamaquoddy, Micmac, Penobscot, Abenaki and Maliseet collectively represent the Wabanaki Confederacy. We acknowledge their ancestors- past, present and future. We honor with gratitude the land itself and this calls us to commit to learning to be better stewards of the land we inhabit and invite all people to share in the work.
