CURRENT PROJECTS & EVENTS

Pejepscot Portage Walk
Date: Sunday, October 6, 2024
Time: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm
Location: Brunswick Town Mall
Please join us for a day of movement and reflection along the Pejepscot Portage, the Wabanaki portage that formed the basis for the roadway today known as Maine Street in Brunswick. By traveling the portage route together—from the falls at Pejepscot to Maquoit Bay—we will attempt to see the wider relationships and continuing Wabanaki and Black presences in this place many of us call home.

Pejepscot Portage Countermap
A group of Wabanaki and non-Wabanaki community members have been in the process of making what we call a "Pejepscot Portage countermap" on Google Earth. Our goal is to better understand and raise awareness of the ways in which Wabanaki have shaped--and continue to shape--the place we now call Brunswick. See the current iteration of the map here: https://bit.ly/pejepscotportagemap
