On behalf of the Wabanaki Advisory Board, we invite you to a special celebration to
recognize the remarkable contributions of over 50 Wabanaki individuals representing five
tribes. This celebration marks the culmination of five years of dedicated collaboration and
effort in bringing Tekakapim;:)k to fruition.
Please join us for a first preview of Tekakapim;:)k before its ribbon cutting in August. This
gathering is a testament to the collective achievements and cultural richness of our
Wabanaki communities. It is an opportunity to honor the diverse perspectives, traditions,
and talents shaping this extraordinary project.
We hope you will join us in commemorating this milestone achievement and celebrating
the vibrant spirit of the Wabanaki people. Your presence would greatly enrich our
celebration.
