SUMMARY:Swordfish in Wabanaki Homeland
DESCRIPTION:Archaeological sites along the Maine coast show that swordfish existed in the Gulf of Maine between approximately 5\,500 and 3\,700 years ago. Excavations at multiple Maine sites have produced swordfish rostra\, vertebrae\, and other remains\, indicating that Wabanaki ancestors harvested and processed these large fish for millennia. In this presentation\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom will discuss the presence of swordfish in Wabanaki homeland and what these archaeological data reveal about past marine conditions\, Wabanaki fishing practices\, and how climate change affected local ecosystems. Through archaeological study of swordfish remains from the Gulf of Maine\, we can appreciate the sophisticated relationship Indigenous peoples had with swordfish specifically\, and the marine environment more broadly. \nDr. Bonnie Newsom is a member of the Penobscot Nation and an archaeologist interested in the pre-contact lifeways of Wabanaki peoples. She is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Associate Faculty in the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine. She and her husband Les are both military veterans and they live in Eddington\, Maine. \nSuggested donation: $10

SUMMARY:Mobile Commoning: How Sharing is Caring in a Climate Hope World
DESCRIPTION:This talk considers the history of “commoning” as a way in which generations of people around the world and right here in Maine have resisted private property\, settler colonialism\, and enclosure by moving more lightly across places\, from swamps and forests to urban edges and oceans. Can sharing energy\, food\, and transport help us achieve more ethical relations of trans-species climate justice? \nMimi Sheller is an internationally recognized scholar in mobility studies—movement and migration\, Caribbean studies\, climate adaptation\, and the politics of mobility. She is the Dean of The Global School at Worcester Polytechnic Institute\, and a part-time Brooksville neighbor. \nSuggested donation: $10

SUMMARY:Protect Ancient Forests
DESCRIPTION:Alyssa & Michael O’Brien\, co-founders of Protect Ancient Forests\, make the case for working together to protect our remaining old-growth and mature public forests — why they’re irreplaceable\, how policy shapes their fate\, and what it looks like to build a movement on their behalf. Drawing on law\, education\, and deep roots in the Maine landscape\, they’ll invite us to join them. \nAlyssa O’Brien brings a background in psychology and elementary education to her conviction that caring for the natural world is something we do on behalf of future generations; Michael O’Brien holds a JD from the University of Maine School of Law and spent years as a nonpartisan policy analyst for the Maine Legislature’s Agriculture\, Conservation and Forestry Committee. Together\, from their home on the coast of Maine\, they co-founded Protect Ancient Forests to build the broad coalitions they believe are necessary to permanently protect what remains. \nSuggested donation: $10
