The Pejepscot Portage Walk — The Walk for Historical & Ecological Recovery
The Pejepscot Portage Walk
Date: Sunday, October 6, 2024
Time: 9:30 am – 3:00 pm
Location: Brunswick Town Mall
We strongly encourage folks to participate in a day of movement and reflection along the Pejepscot Portage, the Wabanaki portage that formed the basis for the roadway today known as Maine Street in Brunswick.
When people talk about the history of a place, they are often speaking of the history that focuses exclusively on colonial or European American perspectives. How does an understanding of Wabanaki and African American histories reframe what we understand to be the history of Brunswick?
By traveling the portage route together—from the falls at Pejepscot to Maquoit Bay—we will attempt to see the wider relationships and continuing Wabanaki and Black presences in this place many of us call home.
