REACH is implementing the Commission’s recommendations, focused on Wabanaki health, wellness and self-determination and community building.

Maine-Wabanaki REACH workshops have been well received across the state with over 800 Mainers participating. Maine and Wabanaki people are at an historical juncture in their long relationship. This workshop is an opportunity for non-Native people to reflect on our shared history and future with Native people. It includes a brief look at the colonizing history of US and Maine relationships with Native people; awareness of white privilege; an introduction to decolonization of our organizations and institutions. REACH welcomes and appreciates donations supporting our ongoing work. Please visit our donation page: http://www.mainewabanakireach.org/donate
