    TEACHER’S GUIDE Passamaquoddy History & Culture: A Traveling Teaching Kit for Grades 5-8 Saint Croix Island International Historic Site US National Park Service • Abbe Museum 2005 Welcome Thank you for choosing Passamaquoddy History and Culture: A Traveling Teaching Kit for Grades 5-8. The National Park Service and the Abbe Museum collaborated to create this traveling kit. This hands-on kit uses student-centered activities and tactile elements to introduce students to the richness of Passamaquoddy culture and history. This kit does not attempt to fully teach all of Passamaquoddy history. Rather, these lessons and activities should be used as an introduction that will hopefully inspire you and your students to learn more about Passamaquoddy and other Wabanaki history. We hope that you and your students enjoy using this kit and that you begin to look at Passamaquoddy history in a whole new way. Acknowledgements Special thanks to Joseph A. Nicholas, whose idea it was to create this kit dedicated to the history of the Passamaquoddy people. Thanks also to the staff at the Wapohnaki Museum at Sipayik, especially Dolly Apt and David A. Francis; Robert M. Leavitt, Director, Mi’kmaq-Maliseet Institute, University of New Brunswick; Donald Soctomah, Passamaquoddy Tribal Historic Preservation Officer;Martin Dana, David A. Francis, Jeremy Frey, Alison Lewey, Elizabeth Neptune,Wayne Newell, Donald Soctomah, and Madonna Soctomah for their openness in sharing their life stories for this kit; Teachers Donna Gagnon, Indian Township School, and Lori LaCombe-Burby and Lee Birmingham, Old Town Middle School; Michael Marion and Joshua Torrance.

  • A Meeting of Nations
    A MEETING OF NATIONS The year 2013 is the 400th anniversary of a small, short lived Jesuit settlement founded somewhere in the Frenchmen Bay region. The exact location remains a mystery. The settlement lasted a few short weeks, destroyed by international conflict that besieged the region for the next 200 years. This settlement, and others like it, tell a story about nations coming together in trade, war, and common interests, struggling to hold on to the rich resources that make up the homeland of the Wabanaki. For the next two centuries, the Wabanaki would do everything they could to maintain sovereign control of their homeland, while the English and French would, each in very different ways, work to bring this land and its people under their control. Saint Sauveur In May of 1613, the French ship Jonah departed the settlement of Port Royal in present-day Nova Scotia. Aboard the Jonah were four Jesuit priests planning to establish a new settlement and mission. The Jesuits wanted to escape internal quarrels with the secular leaders at Port Royal, and intended to set up their new post near the Wabanaki village of Kadesquit (present-day Bangor). Bad weather on their voyage led them to anchor off Mount Desert Island. Asticou, the local Wabanaki leader, invited them to visit his village, and encouraged them to locate the mission nearby, rather than up the Penobscot River at Kadesquit. The location recommended by Asticou appealed to the French crew, and they began the process of making a settlement. They started to construct buildings, plant gardens, and build relationships with the nearby Wabanaki.
