Speaker: Anthony Sutton, Passamaquoddy from Sipayik; Assistant Professor, Native American Studies and Food Systems, University of Maine
The Maine Indian Tribal State Commission (MITSC) recently released an audio version of Sea Run, which documents all non-Indigenous impacts to river-based fisheries from European contact to today. Though the report focuses on fisheries, this presentation intends to connect this story to many topics central to Wabanaki Foodways, whether it’s land-based conservation or clams, they all come from the story of what happened to our food.
Anthony Sutton, PhD, is Passamaquoddy from Sipayik. He is an Assistant Professor of Native American Studies and Food Systems at the University of Maine and Faculty Fellow at the Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions. Tony’s work focuses on historical and contemporary aspects of Wabanaki foodways, both unpacking the histories that have shaped lands, waters, and species central to Wabanaki foodways, to the present by centering Wabanaki visions for the restoration of foodways and fisheries.
