Wabanaki Studies

A landmark Maine law signed on June 15, 2001 requires schools to teach Maine K–12 students about Wabanaki territories, economic systems, cultural systems, governments, and political systems, as well as the Wabanaki tribes’ relationships with local, state, national, and international governments. MITSC was instrumental in the creation and initial implementation of this critically important law, and has worked collaboratively in efforts to fully implement this law in all Maine schools.
