The Wabanaki Alliance has released a new guide aimed at promoting more respectful language and accurate information when reporting on Indigenous peoples in Maine, as well as their history, land, and culture. The online style manual covers the four federally recognized tribes in Maine, known collectively as the Wabanaki Nations. They are the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, Mi’kmaq Nation, Penobscot Nation, and the Passamaquoddy Tribe. The Alliance is a confederation of organizations and individuals supporting the full restoration of federal rights to those tribes.
