"Details:Date: Wednesday, April 2nd Time: 5pm-7pm Location: Talbot Hall, Luther-Bonney, USM Portland Campus Add it to your calendar here. "Light refreshments available. Please share with students, colleagues, friends, etc."About the film: "For decades, child welfare authorities have been removing Native American children from their homes to 'save them from being Indian.' In Maine, the first official Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the United States begins a historic investigation. Dawnland goes behind-the-scenes as this historic body grapples with difficult truths, redefines reconciliation, and charts a new course for state and tribal relations."Dawnland aired on Independent Lens on PBS in November 2018 and 2021, reaching more than two million viewers. The film won a national Emmy® Award for Outstanding Research in 2019 and made the American Library Association’s list of 2020 Notable Videos for Adults."Maine <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TruthAndReconciliation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TruthAndReconciliation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiReach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiReach</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenChildren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StolenChildren</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BoardingSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoardingSchools</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericans</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Film</a>

DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AshTree</a> Protection Collaboration Across <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanakik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wabanakik</a>"Ash trees, in particular brown ash (used interchangeably with black ash, Fraxinus nigra), are a cultural keystone species for Wabanaki communities and a crucial part of wetland ecosystems in the Northeast. The spread of the invasive forest pest EAB has caused 99% brown ash tree mortality in other areas of Turtle Island, and will have a considerable effect on ecosystems and traditions as it spreads through the Dawnland."Partners of the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik’s (APCAW) have been working for 20 years to prepare for the onset of EAB in Northeastern forests. We are committed to identifying research-informed strategies to protect the future of ash in the Dawnland that align with Wabanaki priorities. The purpose of this website is to share practical knowledge with those who seek to take actions to maintain ash on the landscape. If you’d like to receive event announcements in your inbox, sign up for our newsletter here. Read on to find information about the cultural importance of ash, seed collection efforts, and emerald ash borer (EAB) management.Why are we called the Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik?"Our name emerged from collaborative conversations about the goals of our shared work. We decided to use the word <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanakik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wabanakik</a> to refer to the place where we are located in an effort to center Wabanaki language and ways of knowing. Wabanakik is a term with slightly different meanings in each eastern <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Algonquin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Algonquin</a> language, but can be understood in English to mean either 'in the location of the land which is referred to as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dawnland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dawnland</a>' or 'in the location of the People of the Dawn.' Wabanakik stretches from Newfoundland in the north, to mid-Maine in the south, and parts of Quebec in the west."APCAW members acknowledge that we are located in the homeland of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiConfederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiConfederacy</a>, which includes the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Abenaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Abenaki</a>, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Tribal Nations. Wabanakik has a ongoing legacy of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonialism</a>, of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StolenLand</a>, broken treaties, forced removal and genocide of Wabanaki peoples which have fragmented Wabanaki relationships to land. The People of the Dawn maintain a sacred relationship with brown ash trees since time immemorial. APCAW’s work is to center, protect, and restore this ongoing relationship between Wabanaki peoples and ash ecosystems.Who are we?"The Ash Protection Collaboration Across Wabanakik (APCAW) is a group of Indigenous and non-indigenous researchers, Tribal members, and forest caretakers working together to bring more awareness of the cultural and ecological significance of ash trees and efforts to conserve them. APCAW continues the initiative set forth by the EAB and Brown Ash Taskforce, which began in the early 2000s to facilitate the collaborative capacity of Wabanaki basketmakers, Tribal Nations, state and federal foresters, and others to prevent, detect, and respond to the EAB. APCAW gives platform to the work of a broad range of partners, including:• University of Maine School of Forest Resources • Tribal Nations <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MikmaqNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MikmaqNation</a>, Presque Isle <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HoultonBand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoultonBand</a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maliseet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maliseet</a> Indians, Houlton <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassamaquoddyTribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PassamaquoddyTribe</a> at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianTownship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndianTownship</a> Passamaquoddy Tribe at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PleasantPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PleasantPoint</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sipayik" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sipayik</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PenobscotNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PenobscotNation</a>, Indian Island• Wabanaki basketmakers and the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance• State and Federal Forestry Agencies USDA APHIS State of Maine Department of Agriculture & Forestry State, Private, and Tribal Forest Service• Conservation organizations and seed saving organizations The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WildSeedProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildSeedProject</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineLandTrustNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaineLandTrustNetwork</a>Learn more (includes links to resources): <a href="https://umaine.edu/apcaw/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://umaine.edu/apcaw/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MFS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmeraldAshBorer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EmeraldAshBorer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AshTree</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AshTrees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/APCAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCAW</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvasiveSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasiveSpecies</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wabanaki</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectTheForests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MaineNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveTheTrees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiCulture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiBasketry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiBasketry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiTradition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiTradition</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Forestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Forestry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectTheSacred</a>

We’ve had to do a lot of retracing of our ancestors’ steps. It’s okay to be Passamaquoddy, and it’s okay to not know what it means to be Passamaquoddy, but we can do the work to figure it out together. I’m making this film with my good friend Geo, because it’s usually other people telling our stories for us or telling us what to share and what not to share. This time, we are telling our story in our own way. It’s especially important for us to do this for the young in our community." - Brianna Smith."On the Eastern reaches of the occupied territory now referred to as North America, the children of Koluskap call upon ancestral teachings to guide them.
