Nibezun
Nibezun is dedicated to preserving and nurturing the relationship between the people of the Wabanaki Confederacy and their ancestral lands and waterways. Nibezun offers year round programming in language revitalization, sustainable farming and building practices, traditional knowledge and ceremony, and wellness. Nibezun also stewards 86-acres of culturally significant land on the Penobscot River in Passadumkaeg, the sacred ground of Maine’s Indigenous people for over 10,000 years. “Nibezun” translates to “medicine” in the Penobscot language.
“We recognize that in strengthening our connection as Indigenous people with our sacred land, stories, language, and Wabanaki traditions, we can begin a deep and profound healing process.”
