Beginning of animation: End of animation: For thousands of generations, Wabanaki people have lived across what is now northern New England, the Canadian Maritimes, and Quebec. The arrival of Europeans more than 500 years ago began a process of dramatic and destructive loss that continues today. Much of the Wabanaki homeland was taken through a series of treaties, negotiated between various Wabanaki groups and the French, English, Massachusetts, Maine, and United States governments. Wabanaki and non-Native signatories often had very different ideas and interpretations of what they had agreed to. Wabanaki communities today are working to protect what remains, and to assert their sovereign rights in their homeland, for future generations. For photos and information about Wabanaki communities today, tap here: WABANAKI TODAY 2 Wabanaki Today Web URL: http://arcg.is/1QGlJ7O The Wabanaki Nations – Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot – are thriving and growing in Maine and beyond.

    WWW.MUWINDFARM.COM CHRONICLE 1 MESGI'G UGJU'S'N WIND FARM GWE, HELLO! Over the coming months, the Mesgi'g Ugju's'n (MU) project team will share with you information and updates on the construction of the MU wind farm through this chronicle. The chronicle will be published on a regular basis, and its’ main goal is to inform people living in the area about the progress of the wind farm so that they can become familiar with the project. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Mesgi’g Ugju's’n wind farm, which means "big wind" in Mi'gmaq, is located on public land in the Avignon Regional County Municipality. The project was originally developed by the three Mi'gmaq communities in Quebec in early 2009. They then selected Innergex in 2012 as an experienced partner to build and operate the wind farm. The project, which will be commissioned in December 2016, involves the installation of 47 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of nearly 150 megawatts (MW). This means that the MU wind farm will produce enough electricity to power approximately 30,000 homes. The project developer is Mesgi’g Ugju’s’n (MU) Wind Farm, L.P., a 50-50 partnership between the three Mi'gmaq communities in Quebec (Gesgapegiag, Gespeg and Listuguj) and Innergex, a Quebec company and a leader in the renewable energy sector. The cost of this large-scale project is approximately $330 million; of which a minimum of 60% will be invested in Quebec and 35% of the cost of the wind turbines will come from the designated region, namely the Gaspe Peninsula and La Matanie Regional County Municipality.
