Conversation featuring Michael Burgess from Penobscot Nation, Adam Pereira from Maine Coast Heritage Triust, and Brett Ciccotelli from First Light, faciltated by Ellie Oldach as part of Confluence.
This summer, an island in Muscongus Bay returned to the Penobscot Nation, marking the first return of a sea island to the Penobscot people.
This project arose through the partnership between Penobscot Nation, Maine Coast Heritage Trust, Chewonki, Coastal Rivers Land Trust, the Wabanaki Commission, and First Light. Each partner brought strengths that helped make this return a success.
In October, they joined the learning journey, Confluence, to share this story.
