A DEEPER HISTORY

From Kennebec Land Trust Statement on Wabanaki Access and Stewardship of Land 

Maine is the homeland of the Wabanaki People. Since the Laurentide ice sheet retreated over 11,000 years ago, the Wabanaki have hunted, fished, traveled through, and lived on the land that we now call Maine.  Wabanaki means the people of the dawn, a term referring to the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, and Abenaki people.  Despite the devastating impacts of colonization in recent centuries, the Wabanaki culture and communities remain vibrant and strong in Maine today.

… “Kennebec,” from the Abenaki word kinepk or kinepkw, translates to “deep river.”  KLT has a deep appreciation for the complex relationships between people and the land and the natural world itself.  We recognize the Wabanaki’s long relationship with the lands that we call Maine and the ongoing and important role they have in shaping the future.  We are committed to continuing to learn about tribal priorities and considering future land trust and tribal conservation projects.
