Three people were honored Thursday at the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor at Nihkaniyane, the second year that members of the Wabanaki Alliance and allies have come together to recognize the coalition’s work and the relationships that make it possible: Carol Wishcamper, a founding supporter of the Wabanaki Alliance; Rena Newell, former Passamaquoddy Tribal Representative to the state Legislature and former chief of the reservation at Sipayik; and Beth Ahearn, who this year retired as director of government affairs for Maine Conservation Voters, one of the earliest members of the Wabanaki Alliance.
