  • View resources for Wabanaki Studies here. These resources support PK-12 educators in integrating Wabanaki Studies into existing curricula. This material represents a continuing collaborative effort between the Wabanaki nations, Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators, districts, and other organizations. Resources included here are not comprehensive or definitive but rather represent high-quality materials that are widely available.

    Grade Level: Pre-K - 12

  • View Wabanaki Studies Planning Guide here. This guide is meant to help educators in the absence of an official state or district Wabanaki Studies curriculum, though it is not a curriculum in itself. There are links to curricular resources in the compendium section. In the absence of appropriate teacher preparation for Wabanaki Studies in teacher education programs, teaching Wabanaki Studies in the classroom presents many challenges. It is the responsibility of all educators to teach Wabanaki Studies, and it is also our responsibility to do it well. Please take the time to learn, reflect, and thoughtfully prepare.

  • View the guidebook here. This guidebook offers ways to introduce your community to the outdoors. It offers the following three benefits — 1) A starting point to facilitate conversations about creating and supporting a culture of bringing students outside at your school; 2) A set of practical tools for bringing students outside; and 3) Resources and guidance for how to explore this type of education further.
