A Bangor nonprofit aims to launch construction of a $6.5 million downtown Wabanaki Cultural Center this spring. Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness will convert the first floor and mezzanine of 16 Central St. in downtown Bangor into a cultural center that caters to local youth and shares Indigenous culture with the region. The space will also be decorated with artistic representations of Maine’s natural resources, including a river, ocean and Katahdin, with information on the significance of each in Indigenous culture.
