a bridge to rightful recognition for Indigenous & Black servicemembers
June 21, 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Chief Joseph Orono’s speech allying the Wabanaki nations with the Americans in the Revolutionary war. Since 2009, June 21st is also recognized as Wabanaki Veterans Day in Maine. Join Penobscot Nation and its partners in a six-mile walk to honor Wabanaki veterans and to consider Orono and its surroundings from a Wabanaki perspective. The walk will conclude with a ceremony and community meal on Indian Island. You are welcome to join us for just a portion of the route, or for either ceremony, or both.
