As the Commission was launched, REACH began to form as an organization, first with a fiscal sponsor to help us gain access funding and administrative support for our work. Then in 2018, REACH became an official non-profit organization.</p><p>"In 2015, the Truth Commission’s final report spoke to the importance of the Tribal-State Workgroup and Wabanaki REACH. The Commission's recommendations continue to guide their respective work. </p><p>"The Tribal-State ICWA Workgroup continues to meet regularly to practice co-case management of ICWA cases and provide support to tribal child welfare partners; they recruit, train, and support community members to serve as ICWA Qualified Expert Witnesses; they provide a day-long educational experience for caseworkers, assess and update state child welfare policy, provide <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICWA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ICWA</span></a> education to Guardians ad Litem, attorneys, judges, and other service providers, and they helped create the new state law Maine Indian Child Welfare Act in 2023.</p><p>"REACH’s decolonization work centers on how to restore Wabanaki lands, water, culture, and people by:</p><p>- Continuing truth-telling initiatives. Beyond the Claims:Stories from the Land and the Heart is completing its work that sought to deepen understanding of the experiences and impacts of the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act. We are focusing on what needs to come next. </p><p>- Supporting Wabanaki wellbeing through education, building and celebrating community, reclaiming Wabanaki ways, and protecting the earth we share. REACH supports Native inmates with newsletters, books, peace and healing circles, and sweat lodge ceremonies. Food sovereignty work has been focused on creating medicine gardens, restoring clam beds, supporting food pantries, and partnering on events to increase awareness of protecting the fisheries. We hold wellness gatherings and provide direct support to community members in need. This summer, REACH supported sending 21 Wabanaki youth to summer camp. </p><p>- REACH has developed and provides impactful educational programming, believing that when people more deeply understand what happened in this territory they wish to be part of writing a different history for our grandchildren. </p><p>"The truth and reconciliation commission has truly helped people understand intergenerational trauma and strength and the process of truth, healing, and change that is now taking place in many forms in both Wabanaki and non-native spaces. We are so heartened to see these planted seeds of decolonization sprouting all over Wabanaki territory."</p><p><a href="https://www.wabanakireach.org/reflecting_on_change_wabanaki_reach_board" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wabanakireach.org/reflecting_o</span><span class="invisible">n_change_wabanaki_reach_board</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoplesDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeoplesDay</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WabanakiAlliance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TruthAndReconcilation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TruthAndReconcilation</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Colonization</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BoardingSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoardingSchools</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineSettlementAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaineSettlementAct</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmericans</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PenobscotNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PenobscotNation</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maliseet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Maliseet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Passamaquoddy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Passamaquoddy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mikmaq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mikmaq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineTribes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaineTribes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TruthTelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TruthTelling</span></a></p>

We wanted to capture stories from people with lived experiences during this time, uplift stories that exemplify the Wabanaki people's unique relationship to their homelands, and create tools for learning and understanding so we can ultimately move toward a more just and understanding future together', said <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MariaGirouard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MariaGirouard</span></a>, Executive Director of Wabanaki REACH.</p><p>"Wikhikon is the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Passamaquoddy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Passamaquoddy</span></a> word originally used for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/birchbark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>birchbark</span></a> maps but now refers to book, image, map, or any written material. For this exhibit, it can be understood as a visual tool for storytelling that offers spaces for relations and understandings to emerge from the Land and from the people who are connected to it. It is a term that challenges and resists dominant, western understandings of stories and the Land and the relationships in which they attempt to force Wabanaki people into.</p><p>"Nolan Altvater said, 'This exhibit is a celebration of the myriad relations that Wabanaki people have with our homelands. The stories blur the lines between image and word while inviting the audience to critically think and learn with the literacies of our land beyond the claims of the settlement act'.</p><p><a href="https://www.wabanakireach.org/press_release" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wabanakireach.org/press_releas</span><span class="invisible">e</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmericanHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WabanakiHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WabanakiAlliance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a></p>
