June 21st, 2022 - National Indigenous Peoples Day

Today, and everyday, we recognize that Hammond River watershed is located on land that has NEVER been ceded- the Mi’kmaq, in northern and eastern New Brunswick; the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), along the Wolastoq-Saint John River Valley; and the Peskotomuhkatiyik (Passamaquoddy) in the St. Croix River watershed. These three nations are part of the Wabanaki Confederacy, which also includes the Penobscot and Abenaki nations of Maine.
