SUMMARY:Mobile Commoning: How Sharing is Caring in a Climate Hope World
DESCRIPTION:This talk considers the history of “commoning” as a way in which generations of people around the world and right here in Maine have resisted private property\, settler colonialism\, and enclosure by moving more lightly across places\, from swamps and forests to urban edges and oceans. Can sharing energy\, food\, and transport help us achieve more ethical relations of trans-species climate justice?

SUMMARY:Swordfish in Wabanaki Homeland
DESCRIPTION:Archaeological sites along the Maine coast show that swordfish existed in the Gulf of Maine between approximately 5\,500 and 3\,700 years ago. Excavations at multiple Maine sites have produced swordfish rostra\, vertebrae\, and other remains\, indicating that Wabanaki ancestors harvested and processed these large fish for millennia. In this presentation\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom will discuss the presence of swordfish in Wabanaki homeland and what these archaeological data reveal about past marine conditions\, Wabanaki fishing practices\, and how climate change affected local ecosystems. Through archaeological study of swordfish remains from the Gulf of Maine\, we can appreciate the sophisticated relationship Indigenous peoples had with swordfish specifically\, and the marine environment more broadly.

SUMMARY:How to Find Hidden History
DESCRIPTION:Much of history has been buried by the passage of time. Join writer and history researcher Avery Yale Kamila who will go over Moral Treason\, a paper she wrote for the Elizabeth Oakes Smith Society exploring 19th-century Maine author Oakes Smith’s early work as an editor and involvement in the previously unknown Portland Female Anti-Matrimonial Society of 1833 and the little-explored Portland Graham Riot of 1834. Kamila will then share information of how she uncovered details of these events and how audience members can use the techniques in their own searches for lost history and forgotten ancestors.

SUMMARY:The Influence of Helen and Scott Nearing: A 50-Year Journey
DESCRIPTION:In 1976\, inspired by the ideas of Helen and Scott Nearing\, Sherrie Lovler and Norm Lee began a back-to-the-land life in upstate New York. They later founded The Good Life Get-Together\, a yearly summer gathering with workshops for those drawn to the back-to-the-land movement and published Homesteaders News magazine for over nine years.

Fifty years later\, Sherrie reflects on how the Nearings’ influence continues to shape her life as a self-employed artist\, poet\, teacher\, and author.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Community: The Power of Gathering Spaces & The Impact of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1950s\, the United States has seen a steady decrease in gathering spaces that effectively foster meaningful\, long-lasting support networks and community belonging. As the country becomes more divided and individualistic\, we see an uptick in isolation and a decline in public health and well-being. In this talk\, explore the three components of community building Queerly ME employs to foster strong support networks and strengthen community belonging for LGBTQIA+ adults in Maine. Dive into what is needed for a gathering place to thrive and lead towards meaningful\, long-lasting community connections. This workshop will have a strong focus on the LGBTQIA+ community in Maine\, and the many sociopolitical obstacles challenging the creation and growth of gathering spaces and how we may overcome those challenges through collective action.
