[W]e live in that time now. [A] period of great hope is prophesied next – the 8th fire, an eternal fire of peace. Some native ancestors call it the great healing – a road of spirituality rather than materialism…. The old traditions say that this new time, this move toward a more harmonious world will begin in the East and will sweep across the continent like the dawn of a new day. So, here we are, perfectly positioned in Wabanaki land where the light from a new day first touches Turtle Island.”1 Figure 1 Turtle Island, Courtesy Shannon Thunderbird. Figure 2 Wabanaki Country, Cartography by Stacy Morin. The Wabanaki,2 the People of the Dawn, have historically lived in what is currently called Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, and New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (maritime provinces of what is now Canada). The Penobscot are one of the tribal nations in the Wabanaki Confederacy, which also includes the Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, and Passamaquoddy.3 Maps of Wabanaki space and place names are a helpful first step to begin the journey toward understanding the relationship between Wabanaki people and their homeland.4 DAWNLAND TEACHER’S GUIDE — INTRODUCTION 3 If the move toward a more harmonious world starts in the East, surely a sign of this beginning is the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission (MWTRC). Figure 3 Hermon, Me -- February 12, 2013 -- The five commissioners of the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission: Matthew Dunlap, gkisedtanamoogk (cq), Carol Wishcamper, Gail Werrbach, and Sandra White Hawk (left to right). Credit: Bangor Daily News Upstander Project’s documentary film,Dawnland , tells the story of the TRC and the individuals who testified before it. This five-part guide was written for those who want to use the film to teach about the MWTRC, the conditions that summoned its creation, and the promise it holds for others who seek truth and justice. Dawnland may not surprise some who grew up in Indian Country, but it will likely shock those raised elsewhere. It is our hope that viewers of the film and users of this guide will find answers to the question: What is the relationship between the taking of the land and the taking of the children? We also hope they come away understanding why Native peoples, especially mothers and grandmothers, pushed long and hard for passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), a federal law signed by President Carter in 1978, and why Wabanaki community members, parents, social workers, tribal leaders, and their allies created a truth commission in Maine (MWTRC) to address harms caused by repeated violations of ICWA.

U.S. Senate Hearings on Indian child welfare. Credit NBCUniversal. Figure 6 The Indian Child Welfare Act, 1978. From 2012 – 2015 the MWTRC gathered testimony about experiences in child welfare from Wabanaki people and those who worked in the child welfare system. The MWTRC represents a creative and courageous response to child welfare policies and practices that caused incalculable emotional, social, and cultural harm to generations of Wabanaki parents and children. To do justice to their stories, we need to engage with the history of Indigenous peoples in North America, especially in New England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This swath of history, usually taught from only one perspective—that of English colonial settlers—is the focus of our first inquiry. We aim to disturb those who knew only one interpretation and leave them full of questions and concern. This guide was created to help teachers get the most out of the documentary film,Dawnland, and its companion short films. It is tightly bound to the films and aims to help connect the dots between the viewing and learning processes. The inquiries suggest how scenes from Dawnland and the lessons in the guide best interact. DAWNLAND TEACHER’S GUIDE — INTRODUCTION 5 Figure 7 Dawnland co-directors Ben Pender-Cudlip and Adam Mazo filming on the reservation of the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Motahkomikik (Indian Township) in Passamaquoddy Territory. The guide is based on the following assumptions: many students in what is currently the United States, especially those who did not grow up with a connection to tribal nations, learn about Indigenous peoples briefly in the early grades, and then not again until high school, if that. They also “learn” from films, sports events, cartoons, and the like. In many cases what students learn reinforces tired and destructive stereotypes, such as this one reported by a teacher in New York in 2016 at an Upstander Project workshop: “Native Americans: are they even real people?” The erasure of Native peoples from the dominant narrative is a key pillar of settler colonialism and has been ongoing for hundreds of years.5 It contributes to a mainstream belief that Native peoples belong only to the past, especially in New England, home to hundreds of Algonquian-speaking tribal nations. This guide aims to help readers locate their place in this history, which is why the lessons begin with historical context for enhanced understanding. Lessons indicate the corresponding C3 Standards and comments that reflect differing perspectives: the view “from the shore” and the view “from the boat.” We are grateful to gkisedtanamoogk, teacher / colleague / friend and former co- chair of the MWTRC for sharing this critical analytical framework at the Upstander Academy for Intellectual Humility at the University of Connecticut in 2016. The author of this guide grew up only learning the view from the boat, that is, of the European colonial newcomers and settlers who occupied Turtle

  • Introducing America
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCING AMERICA (PRE-1754) PAGES SAMPLE CHAPTER OVERVIEW PAGES SAMPLE PAGES SAMPLE INTRODUCTION The story of the United States began in Europe, with competition among imperial powers to settle the great landmass of North America. From the 1500s onwards the wealthy but land-strapped kingdoms of Europe – England, France, Spain, Holland and Portugal – became aware of the economic and strategic potential of this bountiful new continent across the Atlantic. Explorers, settlers, conquistadors,1 captains, merchants and speculators braved perilous sea voyages into the unknown to plant their flag in a land they knew little about. By the late 1600s, several European powers had claimed their own piece of North America, leading to territorial competition and nationalist tensions. For a time it seemed as if this ‘new world’ might develop as a mirror of the old, divided Europe. Arguably the strongest of these imperial powers was Great Britain. Britain’s African American slave military strength, naval dominance and mastery of trade gave it the edge in being sold. matters of empire; this was reflected in the claim that ‘Britons … never will be slaves!’2 in the popular anthem Rule, Britannia! The true purpose of British imperialism, however, was not to conquer or rule but to make money. London maintained the colonies as a valuable source of raw materials and a market for manufactured products. Most imperial legislation was therefore concerned with the regulation of trade. By the mid-1760s, British America had evolved into a remarkably independent colonial system. Under a broad policy of ‘salutary A questionable neglect’, each of the thirteen colonies had become used to a significant degree representation of of self-government.

I was curious when you first came to Dartmouth. That was 1940? RIESER: As an undergraduate. CARROLL: As an undergraduate. How did you choose Dartmouth? RIESER: Your question’s very perceptive, as you’ll see from your answer. It was certainly my intention to go to Harvard, and my family’s intention; and as late as July of 1940 I was sitting at the camp where I was a counselor, talking to a friend with whom I planned to room in freshman dorms. We were picking a room. And I had a phone call from my home that a telegram had come saying something about “Harvard is sorry, but your score on your recent English exam meant that you would have to wait a year to come to Harvard.” That set in motion a search for an alternative. In retrospect, I’m surprised that I wasn’t more discouraged by that, or depressed, but it’s because I really hadn’t thought much about alternatives. I may have, earlier, applied to Reed College, I don’t remember, or whether I did it then.

  • Shawmut Design and Construction Completes Work on 2,200 S/F
    Shawmut Design and Construction completes work on 2,200 s/f Moody's The Backroom - works with designer MGa, architect Prellwitz/Chilinski May 01, 2015 - Owners Developers & Managers Shawmut Design and Construction, a $968 million national construction management firm, has completed Moody's The Backroom located at 468 Moody St. Opened on April 8, the high-end restaurant underwent a 2,200 s/f interior fit-out to accommodate a new wine bar and fully operational charcuterie. Shawmut's scope of work on the 50-seat wine bar included the installation of a limestone feature wall, 200-year-old wooden beams the team found and salvaged, hand-blown custom light fixtures from California, and sliding steel-plated butcher bathroom doors. To help create the French aesthetic of the restaurant, Shawmut worked with Le Panyol to install and build the centerpiece: a wood-fired brick oven. The team built the oven on-site, brick by brick, and covered it with a ceramic clay dome with a copper finish overlay. To enhance the authenticity of the space, the bricks were sourced for the oven from a vineyard in the Rhone Valley of southern France and the limestone for the 30-by-14-foot feature wall from a French abbey. The team outfitted the bar with an island that holds an Enomatic wine dispensing system and two custom butcher block charcuterie machines, as well as installed individual USB charging stations underneath each bar stool. To accommodate the extra weight from the concrete bar top and custom-made 440 bottle metal wine rack, Shawmut installed additional structural support on the roof and basement levels.

Watson: But I got hung up in a different way. Just as I was getting in my car, my trousers got caught on a piece of broken metal at the back of the car. Professor Sadler ran into it yesterday – and ripped my trouser leg right down so I had to rush back and change my pants. Hopkins: I'm sorry for the cause, but I'm kind of glad you were delayed. This was an interesting telephone conversation. It was with a fellow named Gordon who is the head of the company that made the silver bowl and he just wanted some assurance it was all right and so forth. He's a very, very attractive fellow, but I have just barely met him though. I donʼt know him well at all. Childs: It looked like a beautiful bowl. I trust it's as beautiful as it looked there. Is it? It's a perfect reproduction, isnʼt it? Hopkins: Just a perfect reproduction. It is very beautiful, very beautiful. Childs: I told you ahead of time I wasn't going to get to your dinner. But I did. I was so glad… so thrilled by it. It was wonderful.
