"This month features a visit from gubernatorial candidate Hannah Pingree; she shares her stance on tribal sovereignty among other topics. Elders were able to get in contact with local resources at the annual Elder Expo, hosted by the Indian Township Health Center and Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness. The Bingo Hall reached its capacity at the last High Stakes Bingo and is hoping for an expansion before May's High Stakes dates. The serene Bear Lodge & Cabins down the New Pit Road have made some worthy upgrades and are taking bookings throughout the year.

Starting on page 8, May has a handful of upcoming events to look forward to with some that may pop up with shorter notices."

Sweetgrass is one of our four sacred medicines, representing the Seven Grandfather Teachings, the seven generations before us, and the seven generations ahead of us. This sacred medicine was harvested this summer with care and intention. We invite you and your family to join us in braiding sweetgrass together in all five Wabanaki communities. Come share this meaningful tradition, connect with culture and honor the teachings that guide us across generations. We would love to have your families braid with us.
