This fall, MEEA is partnering with the Maine Department of Education’s Wabanaki Studies Specialist Brianne Lolar to host a FREE series of workshops centered around using Wabanaki and Indigenous-authored texts in the classroom. Each participant will leave with a free book, and we will provide guidance on how to pursue a new funding opportunity through the Maine Dept. of Education, reimbursing up to $500 per school district to purchase Indigenous-authored books for classroom use.

Travel stipends, lunch and contact hours included.

Participants can choose between two different in-person sessions, depending on which date and location works best for them.
