Today, Maine observes Indigenous Peoples' Day. We honor the lands and legacies of the Wabanaki Nations — Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Abenaki.

I look forward to passing legislation in the Senate to protect tribal sovereignty, which has been trampled for too long.

USCG Penobscot Bay, warming up for another season of domestic icebreaking
photo of USCG Penobscot Bay, an icebreaking ship, heading upriver towards Bear Mountain Bridge. the ship’s yellow-painted light/radar mast pokes up above the bridge’s span photo of USCG going upriver on the Hudson, off Rockland County across from Indian Point photo of USCG Penobscot Bay, a largely white icebreaking tug with a black hull on the Hudson River. The hull shows the angled blue/white/red-orange US coast guard stripe, and the words U.S. COAST GUARD. The background is a tree-filled early autumn Hudson River hillside, green with a few red leaves.

Maine Central Railroad was chartered in 1856 and began operations in 1862. By 1884, it was the longest railroad in New England. It was the merger of the Androscoggin and Kennebec Railroad and the Penobscot and Kennebec Railroad, resulting in a line from Danville (now Auburn) to Bangor.

"Indigenous Peoples Day is about so much more than the name. It is about living our truth together and being better for it." By Maulian Bryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance and a citizen of the Penobscot Nation in Maine. @bangordailynews.bsky.social
Opinion: Indigenous Peoples Day is about honor, healing and survival
"By having a holiday named after Columbus we not only erase the truth of history we glorify these atrocities as things to be revered and celebrated."

Before Detroit was Motown, Michigan was long a natural resource breadbasket: timber, limestone, copper. Around solstice the Penobscot Building's facades gleam with Silurian Corals of the city's bedrock. #Photography #Stunday #Architecture #Monochrome #Classicmono #B&W

We live about 10 miles inland from Penobscot bay. But these photos show what it is like when the fog pushes over 3 mountains and then fills the valley. And you can feel the ocean cold on the breeze

These two signs have been removed from Acadia National Park (Passamaquoddy and Penobscot territory).

I am not okay.

Source: open.substack.com/pub/barharbo...
Poster: “LOOK DOWN The low-growing plants and shrubs on Acadia's mountains are adapted to tough conditions of wind, fog, ice, snow, and direct sunlight. They are also fragile, and just a few footsteps can damage roots and expose soil to erosion. More frequent storms, intense rain, and hotter temperatures make it harder for plants to grow back. When visiting the summit, please stay on durable surfaces and marked trails.” Sign on a sub-alpine granite ledge reading ” THIS IS SPECIAL GROUND Wabanaki people have long held this mountain, Wapuwoc, White Mountain of the first Light, as a significant place. Today, visitors from everywhere find meaning on the mountain. Over the past few centuries, generations of people have made the journey, and many more will follow.”

Another trip to an Islesboro Preserve.
Nice long walk along trail,
encounted many ecological niches!
Finally down to beach,
deep blue waters,
Favored with swirling white clouds.
Temperature nigh on to perfect.
Sailboats skimming cross Penobscot Bay.

Flash fiction reading next Friday in Bangor, Maine.
I might be saying some naughty words in public plus its free and I think there's beer.
Flyer for a Flash Fiction reading on Friday 10/3 @ 7pm DOUGLAS WRIGHT writes his way into surprising fictional worlds readers never knew they craved. Genre fiction is his jam: sci-fi, horror, and weird lit. ANNALIESE JAKIMIDES makes poems, art, and stories (true and un) from her memory bank of fill-in-the-blank. Cited in national competitions, she’s published 1,000+ short works. J.D. MANKOWSKI writes a coming-of-age fantasy series, the most recent title The Stone King. He sees life through a delightfully fractured lens, always dreaming how to translate it to the page. CHRISTOPHER PACKARD is a biologist, science teacher, and riveting storyteller enmeshed in the legends of cryptids. The author of Mythical Creatures of Maine, he’s the assistant director of the International Cryptozoology Museum. The Stage Door Lounge @ The Penobscot Theatre 131 Main Street, Bangor

Kathleen Hackett co-wrote 2 books on Maine houses that extol her “reverence for the land.”

*Her family repeatedly asked an elderly neighbor to chop down trees blocking their view of Penobscot Bay, but the neighbor refused.

**Now, Hackett's husband is accused of killing the trees by poisoning.
