On October 9, 2023, Indigenous People’s Day, the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine will open its newest exhibit Ckuwaponahkiyik Atkuhkakonol: Wabanaki Storytelling Through Art and Traditions. This new outdoor exhibit celebrates and highlights Wabanaki storytelling and art traditions that have been part of this cultural landscape that we currently call Maine for over 12,000 years. The Museum & Theatre worked with four Wabanaki artists to build this space in a way that tells a fuller story of Wabanaki expressions of art and connections to the lands and waters of this territory. We hope you’ll spend the day with us as you learn more about the vibrant ongoing traditions of the Wabanaki!

Location: Outdoor Adventure Playground, 1st Floor
