Distinguished historian on Wabanaki history, Nicholas Smith, will be presenting at the Fogler Library, Special Collections, at 3:00 p.m.

Our Vision Statement

The Wabanaki Center will be a gathering place
for indigenous scholars engaged in the work of advancing Wabanaki studies
through teaching, research and publication.

Wabanaki students will have access
to the resources to research and create teaching and learning environments
and tools that reflect and honor indigenous epistemologies.
We will utilize new media methods extensively
to develop and nurture Wabanaki
scholarship.

By developing appropriate Wabanaki curricula,
we can reach and teach a diversity of students engaged in life-long learning.
Support for Native community development efforts
will naturally arise from partnerships between students, faculty,
tribal communities, and other organizational collaborators.
