The Wabanaki people you will find in this album are elders, chiefs or other respected members of their communities, photographed in the late 1990's.
Barry Dana, Chief of the Penobscot Indians-Indian Island, Maine.
Barry is pictured gathering birch bark for a traditional birch bark canoe. He is also pictured at home in Solon, Maine with his wife and children. Barry makes traditional, award-winning, birch bark baskets and utensils, as well as canoe paddles and runs sled dogs in the winter. He teaches traditional Wabanaki ways and 20 years ago had the inspiration to create The Katahdin 100 run to honor the sacred mountain Katahdin.
Mary and Donald Sanipass, Micmac Basket Weavers-Presque Isle, Maine
Mary, Donald, and family are pictured here preparing the materials they use to make traditional ash baskets. They find a suitable ash tree and after splitting, shaping and pounding it, its rings split into thin strips, ring for ring, which the Sanipasses split again by hand and cut with a traditional tool. They then weave the ash strips into traditional work baskets.
Joan Dana, Passamaquoddy Elder-Peter Dana Point, Maine
Joan is pictured at home doing porcupine quillwork and beside her Purification (Sweat) Lodge. She is a visionary elder who enjoys sharing the visions that come to her.
Barbara Beckwith (Running Water), Penobscot Elder-Gorham, Maine
Running Water is pictured here in her home making fans used for ceremonial purposes. Running Water was raised on Indian Island and now lives in southern Maine far from her people. She has a skin condition that is taking the pigment from her skin, which represents to her the fact that she lives in two worlds-she carries much traditional knowledge and the heart of the native ways, and lives in the white world. She ran a Native crafts store for many years on coast of Maine and now runs it successfully on the world-wide web.
Theresa Hoffman, Penobscot Basket Weaver-Waterville, Maine
Theresa is descended from many great Penobscot basket weavers and is pictured here at home weaving sweet grass baskets, splitting ash and cutting it with traditional tools and knowledge handed down through the generations.

Arnie Neptune (Grandfather Thunder), Penobscot Elder-Indian Island, Maine
Arnie Neptune was raised on Indian Island and is one of the last full-blooded Penobscots. He left the poverty and discrimination that plagued Indian Island and joined the Air Force. Forty years later he returned to his people and brought an elder's vision to the Wabanaki and has worked with the young leaders to bring the people together to walk in alignment with the sacred ways of the Creator.
