Acadia National Park utilized $174,700 in Eastern National (the parent of America’s National Parks) funds to help amplify the Wabanaki voice through park publications and interpretive media. Since time immemorial, the Wabanaki people called the area their homeland. Through several park initiatives, like the “Cultural Connections in the Park” series, the Wabanaki perspective is preserved and detailed to all who visit these ancestral homelands. Additionally, the park purchased assistive listening devices and recorded live audio descriptions to improve visitor accessibility. Information within Acadia, and on the Wabanaki people, can now be retrieved through braille and audio recordings.
