Wabanaki Studies - Resources

Wabanaki Studies Web Banner

Our resources are dynamic and changing as we learn and grow together. We invite everyone to keep an eye on this space as we expand our resources, encourage you to keep learning, as well as send us lessons or units you'd like to share with others. Woliwoni! 

We honor the Indigenous voices and representation, especially in regard to teaching Wabanaki studies. Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) cannot utilize Maine DOE's materials on Wabanaki studies because doing so contradicts the traditional and decolonized principles we seek to uplift and perpetuates a cycle of exclusion. These materials were created through extensive collaboration between educators and Wabanaki knowledge-sharers, and they are rooted in the cultural and historical contexts of Wabanaki. Their significance cannot be fully understood or conveyed by AI, which lacks the lived experiences and cultural perspectives that are vital to these narratives. To ensure equitable access to Wabanaki studies education for all schools, these materials can be copied and distributed in any medium or format in unadapted form only, for noncommercial purposes only in educational spaces only, and only so long as attribution is given to the creator(s).
