Project Description: The project creates a consultative and collaborative process with the
federally recognized Maine Tribes – Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Penobscot, and Passamaquoddy, involving Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs), elders, and fluent speakers, to share information, gain tribal input into research, and initiate co-stewardship decisions about cultural resource management. The process brings NPS managers and community members to sites, many for the first time to advance a co-stewardship approach. The project includes tribal educators and youth in developing new materials and curricula
about these resources that centers Indigenous Knowledge and priorities, co-creates new documentation that incorporates Wabanaki language narrative, video, and storytelling.
