DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AshTree</a> Protection Collaboration Across <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanakik" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#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="tag">#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="tag">#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="tag">#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="tag">#WabanakiConfederacy</a>, which includes the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Abenaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#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="tag">#colonialism</a>, of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StolenLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#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="tag">#MikmaqNation</a>, Presque Isle <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HoultonBand" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HoultonBand</a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maliseet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Maliseet</a> Indians, Houlton <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassamaquoddyTribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PassamaquoddyTribe</a> at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianTownship" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#IndianTownship</a> Passamaquoddy Tribe at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PleasantPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PleasantPoint</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sipayik" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Sipayik</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PenobscotNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#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="tag">#WildSeedProject</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineLandTrustNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MaineLandTrustNetwork</a>Learn more (includes links to resources): <a href="https://umaine.edu/apcaw/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://umaine.edu/apcaw/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Maine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MFS</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EmeraldAshBorer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EmeraldAshBorer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AshTree</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AshTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AshTrees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/APCAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#APCAW</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvasiveSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#InvasiveSpecies</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wabanaki</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ProtectTheForests</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MaineNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Maine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SaveTheTrees</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WabanakiCulture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiBasketry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WabanakiBasketry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiTradition" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WabanakiTradition</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Forestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Forestry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ProtectTheSacred</a>

"Newell, who currently serves as interim associate director of the Wabanaki Alliance, said it is not the work of one individual that brings success but the relationships people have with one another that allow for collective learning and movement forward together."During her time in the State House, Newell led efforts to expand Tribal-State coordination, including paving the way for greater sovereignty for the Passamaquoddy two years ago. Newell sponsored legislation that provided tribal members at Sipayik, also known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PleasantPoint" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PleasantPoint</a>, more power to regulate local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DrinkingWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DrinkingWater</a> by, among other means, removing barriers in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SettlementAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SettlementAct</a> that had prevented the tribe from fully accessing federal funds and remediation resources that were available to other federally recognized tribes."Read more: <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/wabanaki-nations-allies-celebrate-progress-113944863.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.yahoo.com/news/wabanaki-nations-allies-celebrate-progress-113944863.html</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiConfederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WabanakiConfederacy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Maine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NativeAmericans</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassamaquoddyNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PassamaquoddyNation</a>

DoomsdaysCWHow to observe <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoplesDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#IndigenousPeoplesDay</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Maine</a>Dan Neumann October 6, 2023"Tribal members and supporters will rally outside the Maine State House in Augusta on Indigenous People’s Day for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wabanaki</a> self-determination and transparency around Maine’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/treaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#treaty</a> obligations toward tribal nations. "The rally, organized by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WabanakiAlliance</a>, a coalition that includes representatives from hundreds of organizations and businesses that support <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Wabanaki</a> inherent sovereignty, will start at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 9 outside the capitol and conclude at 11:30 a.m."Participants will be able to make signs and learn more about the 'Yes on 6' campaign ahead of the rally. "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Question6" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Question6</a> on the November ballot asks whether voters support requiring 'that all of the provisions of the Maine Constitution be included in the official printed copies' distributed by the state. "The tribes are supporting the ballot measure because, since 1876, printed copies of Maine’s Constitution have omitted three sections of the original document, including one pertaining to Maine’s treaty obligations toward the tribes."Monday’s Indigenous People’s Day marks a crossroads for the tribes and their allies, after legislation recognizing Wabanaki sovereignty was vetoed by Gov. Janet Mills last summer. "The law would have amended the jurisdictional arrangement between the tribes and the state that Indigenous leaders have long criticized for leaving the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WabanakiNations</a> with less authority over natural resources, gaming, taxation, criminal justice and economic development on their lands than 570 other federally recognized tribes."Celebration at Redbank in South Portland"Also on Monday, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthPortlandMaine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SouthPortlandMaine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HumanRights</a> Commission will be hosting an Indigenous People’s Day celebration from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Redbank Community Center, located at 95 MacArthur Circle West in South Portland.
