Indigenous Climate Justice: From Wabanaki Territory to the World Thursday, April 7 at 7:00 Dr. Darren Ranco will examine the role of Indigenous Nations in Climate Justice movements and climate change impacts to the Wabanaki Tribal Nations and their cultural and policy responses. Emphasis will be on how climate change is threatening indigenous livelihoods such as agriculture, hunting and gathering, fishing, forestry, energy, recreation, and tourism, and in turn how these threats are already impacting the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of Wabanaki and other Indigenous people. This program is presented through a Maine Speaks grant through Maine Humanities Council.

Success! Thanks to the support of the wonderful York community, Nicole Pestana, Town of York Emergency Management Director, was able to send many items overseas to support the people of Ukraine. In her words, "in total, we had about 50 full boxes of items to deliver to Ukraine, all other items that we could not send overseas but were still in good condition were donated locally to continue onto a good home."
