Intro and Cover 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.

We suggest that the lessons in this kit be worked through sequentially; however, each lesson has been developed to stand on its own and/or be infused into other classroom units. We encourage all modifi cations that engage students and develop understanding. However, please evaluate any other activities you may develop (such as crafts, recreated feasts, or role playing) to make sure they do not perpetuate myths and/or cultural stereotypes. Check Out All of the Resources Background Information Each lesson includes important background information about the subject of the lesson. Before beginning each lesson, we suggest teachers read and share this information with their students. Teachers can also reproduce the background information and distribute it to students. Following each background essay, you will fi nd a list of references used to compile the information, and in some cases, a bibliography of additional resources. We encourage teachers to use these valuable lists for further study. Biographies Each lesson begins with a short biography of a contemporary Passamaquoddy person. These biographies give students the opportunity to learn about and appreciate Passamaquoddy people today. Before beginning each lesson, we suggest teachers share the information aloud with students and then post the laminated versions in the classroom for students to reference during the lessons. Teachers can also reproduce the biographies to distribute to students. Healing Woods Video Watching Healing Woods will give your students another important opportunity to learn about and appreciate Passamaquoddy life and people today. Healing Woods refl ects and reinforces many of the key concepts taught in the kit and will make the lessons come alive for your students. The video runs about an hour. We suggest you show this video in shorter segments, staggered throughout the course of the kit. For your convenience, we have included paragraph descriptions and the start and fi nish times of each 15-20 minute segment. For more information about the content in each segment, refer to the sheet titled “About Healing Woods.” The Wabanakis of Maine and the Maritime Resource Book We suggest teachers use the lessons, activities and other information in the Wabanakis of Maine and the Maritimes resource book to supplement the primary lessons in the Passamaquoddy History and Culture kit. Download this Kit If you do not have enough time to complete the kit or wish to build your own for future classroom use, the background information, lessons, worksheets and a list of the kit objects with purchasing information may be downloaded in PDF format from the following websites: http://www.nps.gov/acad/ or http://www.nps.gov/sacr.

    1.1 Passamaquoddy, they speak Malecite-Passamaquoddy (also known as Maliseet- Passamaquoddy. It is an endangered language from the Algonquian language family (1) 1.2 Pqm (2) 1.3 45.3,-66.656 (3) 1.4 The Passamaquoddy tribe belonged to the loose confederation of eastern American Indians known as the Wabanaki Alliance, together with the Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Abenaki, and Penobscot tribes. Today most Passamaquoddy people live in Maine, in two communities along the Passamaquoddy Bay that bears their name. However, there is also a band of a few hundred Passamaquoddy people in New Brunswick. The French referred to both the Passamaquoddy and their Maliseet kinfolk by the same name, "Etchimins." They were closely related peoples who shared a common language, but the two tribes have always considered themselves politically independent. Smallpox and other European diseases took a heavy toll on the Passamaquoddy tribe, which was reduced from at least 20,000 people to no more than 4000. Pressured by European and Iroquois aggression, the Maliseet and Passamaquoddy banded together with their neighbors the Abenakis, Penobscots, and Micmacs into the short-lived but formidable Wabanaki Confederacy. This confederacy was no more than a loose alliance, however, and neither the Maliseet nor the Passamaquoddy nation ever gave up their sovereignty. Today the Passamaquoddy live primarily in the United States and the Maliseet in Canada, but the distinction between the two is not imposed by those governments--the two tribes have always been politically distinct entities.

  • A Report on Indian Township Passamaquoddy Tribal Lands In
    A REPORT ON INDIAN TOWNSHIP PASSAMAQUODDY TRIBAL LANDS IN THE VICINITY OF PRINCETON, MAINE Anthony J. Kaliss 1971 Introduction to 1971 Printing Over two years have passed since I completed the research work for this report and during those years first one thing and ttan another prevented its final completion and printing. The main credit for the final preparation and printing goes to the Division of Indian Services of the Catholic Diocese of Portland and the American Civil Liberities Union of Maine. The Dioscese provided general assistance from its office staff headed by Louis Doyle and particular thanks is due to Erline Paul of Indian Island who did a really excellent job of typing more than 50 stencils of title abstracts, by their nature a real nuisance to type. The American Civil Liberities Union contrib­ uted greatly by undertaking to print the report Xtfhich will come to some 130 pages. Finally another excellent typist must be thanked and that is Edward Hinckley former Commissioner of Indian Affairs who also did up some 50 stencils It is my feeling that this report is more timely than ever. The Indian land problems have still not been resolved, but more and more concern is being expressed by Indians and non-Indians that something be done. Hopefully the appearance of this report at this time will help lead to some definite action whether in or out of the courts. Further research on Indian lands and trust funds remains to be done. The material, I believe, is available and it is my hope that this report will stimulate someone to undertake the necessary work.

Revised 1/77 A BRIEF HISTORY Pamp 4401 of the c.l PASSAMAQUODDY INDIANS By Susan M. Stevens - 1972 The Passamaquoddy Indians of Maine are located today on two State Reservations about 50 miles apart. One is on Passamaquoddy Bay, near Eastport (Pleasant Point Reservation); the other is near Princeton, Maine in a woods and lake region (Indian Township Reservation). Populations vary with seasonal jobs, but Pleasant Point averages about 400-450 residents and Indian Township averages about 300- 350 residents. If all known Passamaquoddies both on and off the reservations were counted, they would number around 1300. The Passamaquoddy speak a language of the larger Algonkian stock, known as Passamaquoddy-Malecite. The Malecite of New Brunswick are their close relatives and speak a slightly different dialect. The Micmacs in Nova Scotia speak the next most related language, but the difference is great enough to cause difficulty in understanding. The Passamaquoddy were members at one time of the Wabanaki (or Abnaki) Confederacy, which included most of Maine, New Hampshire, and Maritime Indians.

Over 120 estuaries are included (Appendix 3), representing over 90 percent of the estuarine surface water and freshwater inflow to the coastal regions of the contiguous United States. Each estuary is defined spatially by an estuarine drainage area (EDA)—the land and water area of a watershed that directly affects the estuary. The EDAs provide a framework for organizing information and for conducting analyses between and among systems. To date, ORCA has compiled a broad base of descriptive and analytical information for the NEI. Descriptive topics include physical and hydrologic characteristics, distribution and abundance of selected fishes and inver- tebrates, trends in human population, building permits, coastal recreation, coastal wetlands, classified shellfish growing waters, organic and inorganic pollutants in fish tissues and sediments, point and nonpoint pollution for selected parameters, and pesticide use. Analytical topics include relative susceptibility to nutrient discharges, structure and variability of salinity, habitat suitability modeling, and socioeconomic assessments. For a list of publications or more information about the NEI, contact C. John Klein, Chief, Physical Environ- ments Characterization Branch, at the address below.

    I 4 \ A B M K I - Alg onquian confederacy, centering; in biaine, Vetromile says that • 11 tribes who occupy or have occupied the east or northeast shore of Jorth America, from Virginia, to Mova Scotia, were Abnaki, but . .aura.ult gives toe following as tribes of the Abnaki: Kanibesinnoaks ( ilorridgewock, in part); Patsuikets ( Sokoki, in port); Sokouakiaks ( Sokoki); Nurhant suaks ( Norridgewock); Pentagoets ( Penobscot); Etemonkiaks ( Etehimin); Ouarasteqouiaks ( jhalecite). All these tribes spoke substantially the same language. The greatest difference in dialect being between the Etehimin and the others. The Etehimin formed a sub group which included the Halecite and tee Passamaquoddy, The Abnaki customs and beliefs are closely related to the hicrnac, and their ethnic relations arc with the tribes north of the St. Lawrence. The Abnaki village w;.m. situated near the mouth of the Penobscot River. From 1604, when Champlain went up that river to toe vicinity of the present Bangor the Abnaki were an important factor in the history of Paine. They occupied the region between the St. Johns River and the Saco River until their withdrawal to Canada. Through the influence of the French missionaries the Abnaki formed a close attachment for the French, and with them carried on an almost constant war with the English until the fall of the French power in America. Gradually the Abnaki withdrew to Canada, and settled at St. Francis, near Pierreville, Que.

    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.

  • The Wabanaki Indian Collection
    The Wabanaki Indian Collection Compiled by Mary B. Davis This collection contains items from the Passamaquoddy Indian Papers,#9014 and the Abenaki Language Collection, #9045 Contents … Preface … The Wabanakis, by Nicholas N. Smith … Guide to the Microfilm Text Preface The Passamaquoddy Papers, the Joseph Laurent Abenaki Language Collection, and the Micmac Manuscript comprise the Library's Wabanaki Collection. Dated documents range from 1778 to 1913; much of the material is undated. The condition of all three components of the collection is generally poor. The Passamaquoddy Papers, which document the political life for members of that nation during the 19th century, contain many fragments and partial documents impossible to put into proper context in this collection. Using information from other sources, scholars may be able to identify these materials in the future. The Abenaki Language Collection consists of bound manuscripts (and one unbound document) in the Abenaki language which largely pertain to Roman Catholic religious services. They were obtained from the Laurent family, prominent in Abenaki affairs in Odanak, Quebec, after they had sustained a fire. Many of the hand-written volumes are partially charred, resulting in losses of text which will never be retrieved. The Micmac Manuscript is written in the syllabary (sometimes called hieroglyphics) developed by Father Chretian Le Clerq in the 17th century to aid in teaching prayers to Canadian Indians. The Reverend Christian Kauder later used these same characters in his Micmac catechism published in the 1860s. This manuscript seems to be a handwritten prayer book for use in Roman Catholic services. In poor condition, it remains a link to interpreting the styles and approaches of Roman Catholic missionaries to Canadian Micmac converts.

No general list of Maine shells—including land, fresh-water and marine species—-has been published since 1843, when Dr. J. W. Mighels’ list was printed in the Boston Journal of Natural History. Dr. Mighels may be called the “Pioneer” conchologist of Maine. By profession a physician, in his leisure hours he was a most enthusiastic collector and student of all forms of molluscan life. Enthusiasm such as his was “contagious” and he soon had gathered about him a little band of active students and collectors. Of these Capt. Walden of the U. S. Revenue Cutter “Morris” was dredging in deep water and exploring the eastern shores and among the islands, and “by his zeal procured many rare species;” Dr.
