History of the Abenaki in Western Maine

Abenaki filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin’s 2006 documentary, Waban-Aki: People from Where the Sun Rise, traces the histories of Abenaki communities, whose traditional travel between present-day Maine and present-day Quebec continues to be disrupted by the U.S.-Canada border.

Beyond Borders: Unheard Abenaki Voices from the Odanak First Nation, a 2022 presentation and discussion from Odanak leaders held at University of Vermont, delves into the challenges of colonization and recognition facing the Abenaki First Nation at Odanak today.
