Fort Western is located in the homeland of the Wabanaki, the People of the Dawn.
We recognize and honor the Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy,
and Penobscot Nations and all of the Native communities
who have lived here for hundreds of generations
in what is known today as Maine.
These Lectures were funded in part by the Maine Bicentennial Commission
