Canoers complete months-long trip across the Northeast

MAINE PUBLIC • September 1, 2023

Members of the Penobscot Nation gathered at the northern tip of Indian Island today on the Penobscot River to celebrate the completion of a months-long canoe trip across the Northeast. The canoers left Maine in May, and went south to New York Harbor before going north to Quebec and then returning to Maine, in a trip that totaled more than 1800 miles. The inspiration for the trip was to connect with historic ways of travel.
