BDN publishes opinion piece by Ranco on Wabanaki land stewardship
Darren Ranco, professor of anthropology and chair of Native American Programs at the University of Maine, wrote an opinion piece for the Bangor Daily News titled “Wabanaki stewardship of the land benefits all.” Ranco wrote about recent collaborations between Indigenous communities and conservation groups, including several in Maine with which he is involved. He said land return, rematriation and conservation work intersects with the issues impacting the well-being and cultures of Indigenous nations, including those of environmental, climate, health and economic justice and food sovereignty.
