Maine's Indigenous History - Penobscot Nation

In this episode, I visit the Deer Isle–Stonington Historical Society & Museum in Maine with author and anthropologist William “Bill” Haviland. Together, we dive into the deep and enduring history of the Penobscot Indian Nation, one of the oldest continuous communities in North America. From their connection to the land and waterways to their resilience in the face of colonization, the Penobscot story is vital to understanding the broader history of Maine and New England. This conversation sheds light on the importance of honoring Indigenous voices, preserving cultural traditions, and recognizing how Native history continues to shape the present. #PenobscotNation #IndigenousHistory #NativeAmericanHistory #MaineHistory #DeerIsle #Stonington #HistoryBeforeUs #AmericanHistory #IndigenousVoices #LivingHistory #CulturalHeritage #UntoldStories #MuseumVisit #CommunityHistory #YouTubeHistory #HistoryChannel #OralHistory #HistoricalSociety #ExploreHistory
