Wabanaki History in Maine with Maria Girouard and Esther Anne

To begin our series on the Maine Wabanaki State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission, I talk with Maria Girouard and Esther Attean about the history of federal and state policies toward Native Americans here in Maine. We focus on the many attempts throughout the years to erase Wabanaki people and their culture, including the practice of removing native children from their homes.
