Land Acknowledgement

The Vanceboro Historical Society acknowledges that the town of Vanceboro is located in the homeland of the Passamaquoddy Nation, where issues of water and territorial rights, and encroachment upon sacred sites are ongoing. This region is the crossroads to three great waterways, Skutik (St. Croix), Wolastoq (St. John) and the Penobscot River. Passamaquoddy call this region collectively the Chipneticook (“lakes in the highland”).

We also acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that the people indigenous to this place were often forcibly removed and the resulting harm continues and is felt by members of the Passamaquoddy Nation today. The VHS recognizes the Passamaquoddy Nation as a distinct, sovereign, legal and political entity with its own powers of self-governance and self-determination.
