SUMMARY:Talk - Restoring Penobscot Language Use: How an English professor is helping access vital knowledge for a sustainable future
DESCRIPTION:This talk is available via Zoom. Registration is required. Please complete the registration form to receive the Zoom connection information. \nWhen I began the project of publishing “Still They Remember Me”: Penobscot Transformer Tales\, Volume 1\, I placed a primary value on working responsively with Penobscot language keeper Carol Dana\, who wanted help to restore Penobscot language use.  Dana wanted to make bilingual text versions readily available to young people in her community. Reading the narratives as literature\, I saw that they contain deep knowledge about how human beings have understood life in this place\, teaching ecological knowledge\, community values and relationships from a Penobscot perspective. As we work on solving complex 21st-century problems\, reading traditional stories like these can offer invaluable insights for creating a resilient world. \nMargo Lukens is professor of English at the University of Maine; her research interests include Wabanaki literary and storytelling history\, Indigenous plays and playwrights\, innovation and antiracism work.  Her work has included producing and directing plays by Indigenous playwrights on campus and in the region.  “Still They Remember Me”: Penobscot Transformer Tales\, volume 1\, a bilingual book of traditional Penobscot stories with Carol Dana and Conor Quinn\, is due in June 2021 from the University of Massachusetts Press. \nTo request a reasonable accommodation\, contact Ruth Hallsworth\, 207.581.3196 or hallsworth@maine.edu

SUMMARY:Maine Food Waste Solutions Summit
DESCRIPTION:To register: https://maine.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkcu-rqjMtEtN97Ukkq5wNQRGN-cElg4Jd\n \n For more information: Maine Food Waste Solutions Summit \nContact: Susanne Lee at Susanne.Lee@maine.edu \nAmerica is a leader in wasted food where 40% of the food we produce is never eaten. For Maine\, this means 219 lbs. of food wasted per person or nearly 300 million lbs. annually. At the same time\, we have over 200\,000 Mainers suffering from food insecurity – including 1 out of 5 of our children. Adding to the problem\, these food losses cost Maine nearly $600 million annually (about $1\,866 per family of four) and risk our health and natural resources. \nThe goal of this first Summit is to increase the awareness\, education and action needed to implement win-win-win solutions to end wasted food in Maine. \nPlease join us to share: \n\nThe latest data and research on wasted food and solutions\nInspiring food reduction\, recovery\, and recycling success stories\nBreakout sessions to learn about and implement specific solutions\n\nWe will provide the insights needed to re-think food as a “waste” problem and instead see it as a sustainable solution for hunger\, economic development\, and resource management in Maine. \n
