#LandBack, Water Rights, and Decolonization in Wabanaki Territory

October 13, 2021

11:45am-1:00pm

This event is free and open to the public.

 

The Wabanaki people have been protecting their homelands – where UMF resides – since time immemorial, and continue to do so today. Wabanaki land-defenders and water protectors Dawn Neptune-Adams, Maria Girouard, Mali Obomsawin and Lokotah Sanborn will present on current water quality issues, waste mismanagement, land claims proceedings, and the #LandBack movement as part of UMF’s Indigenous Peoples Week activities. The speakers represent Penobscot and Abenaki communities, as well as the Wabanaki-led organizations such as Sunlight Media Collective and Bomazeen Land Trust. For more information on this event and the event presenters, please visit the UMF Indigenous Peoples’ Week 2021 website.
