Berry picking as a powerful force for relationality!

MMNP x DEIJ

2026-07-23 23:50:53 UTC

I had no idea that MMNP had a DEIJ working group and I think that's really wonderful.

I learned more about how to do a land acknowledgment that is more authentic and does not seem performative

The overlap between western and indigenous lenses.

I have a better understanding of the traditional lands- I think I was shy about how much I can participate, but I'm excited to see that as a non-indigenous person, there are appropriate ways to learn and support and be involved

Great connection with mmnp!!

The many names for serviceberries.

How to do a land acknowledgement. So important to do, thank you for sharing how

2026-07-23 23:52:28 UTC

The map comparisons.

I was thinking about how I want to teach, and take the approach of truth and beauty, but now I can see another approach to considering the points of view of indigenous ways of knowing along with western science.

I will be teaching 7th & 8th grade English in Millinocket and this gave me a great idea for a unit on naming and place!!

The River to Which I belong

2026-07-23 23:53:52 UTC

I come from many places- but my mind is weaving a very different relationship to my belonging if I think of it in terms of nature

The 2 maps, then and now, was truly shocking.

The resources to support us in providing a land acknowledgement

Beaver Management!!

2026-07-23 23:54:33 UTC

It never occurred to me how rivers and waterways would change so drastically from beavers! Nicole’s comment on how it can make space for other animals!

I had no idea we have a DEIJ! How do I get more involved?

2026-07-23 23:56:24 UTC

observation and curiosity are part of both ways of seeing and two-eyed seeing will be something i continue to strive for

How much there is to learn from traditional placenames

all flourishing is mutual

Two Eyed Seeing

2026-07-24 00:00:44 UTC

This presentation helped me to better understand the importance of land acknowledgement and how we can help to spread the word.

2026-07-24 00:02:16 UTC

The great interactive maps

2026-07-24 01:01:14 UTC

The continued organic learning about how we recover from colonization

2026-07-24 01:02:03 UTC

That there are people who have an open mind and can help others learn.

2026-07-24 01:03:01 UTC

Do you know what the what the Northern Maine National Wildlife Refuges have done to recognize the land's story and history?
