Niweskok rematriates Wabanaki food and medicine to revitalize the Penobscot Bay as an Indigenous food hub.
Our Mission
Niweskok, a collaboration of food and medicine providers, rematriates Wabanaki life ways by engaging with our kinship responsibilities and reclaiming traditional foods and healing. We prioritize restoring the Penobscot Bay region as a Wabanaki food hub.
About Us
We are food and medicine providers who have been organizing as Eastern Woodlands Rematriation Collective (EWR) since 2018. During that time, local capacity and leadership in Wabanakik (now known as Maine) have thrived and we evolved with this growth into our new iteration– Niweskok: From the Stars to Seeds. We are responsible to our communities and our peoples of the Wabanaki Confederacy: Penobscot, Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, Abenaki.
Board members of Niweskok include Heather Augustine (Mi’kmaq), Jasmine Thompson-Tintor (Penobscot), Andrea Francis (Mi’kmaq), Jus Crea Giammarino (Penobscot), Kessi Watters Kimball (Mi’kmaq), Nicole Francis (Mi’kmaq) and Alivia Moore (Penobscot).
