1. Wabanaki Authors Book List
In honor of the University’s place on Penobscot Nation homeland, and in recognition of Native American Heritage Month, Fogler Library has created a list of books by Wabanaki authors that are available at awihkhikaní-wikəwαm (“book house” or “Fogler Library” in the Penobscot language). The growing list contains nearly 70 titles including both print and ebooks. Suggestions and additions can be sent to Jen Bonnet, Social Science and Humanities Reference Librarian, at jenbonnet@maine.edu.
