Despite continued attacks, incursion, and a devastating pandemic brought on by the white settlers, the nations of this area maintained sovereignty over their lands until the mid 1700&#8217;s when the English settlers officially claimed the lands and moved up en masse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-de8d34f210d6abfb0a93d3515bbf8ad0 wp-block-paragraph\">Today the nations of the Wabanaki, (<strong>Ckuwaponahkiyik<\/strong>, People of the Dawn) still have a strong presence in this region. In June of 2020 the Mi\u2019kmaq Nation, the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Passamaquoddy Tribe and the Penobscot Nation formed the Wabanaki Alliance as part of their continued effort to have their inherent tribal sovereignty recognized by the State of Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b362823ce8ae8f6a67d6e1466baa4660 wp-block-paragraph\">We acknowledge that the brutal conquest of the native populations in this area created the means for us to currently occupy this space. We hope that by creating a place of peace and creativity, open to all, that we honor the spirt of this land.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wabanakialliance.com\/\">Wabanaki Alliance website<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please visit the Wabanaki Alliance website to learn more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-422","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422"}],"version-history":[{"count":35,"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/422\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1927,"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/422\/revisions\/1927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sheepscotart.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
