Wicuhkemtultine Kinship Community
Wicuhkemtultine Kinship Community (WKC) is located on a 200 acre farm on reclaimed land within tradition
al Penobscot Territory. At WKC, we focus on kinship as an expression of relationality, cultural continuity, and
as a means of preserving Indigenous knowledge systems through retained relationship and deep connection
to the land.
The community is grounded in three core Wabanaki values:
N’dilnabamuk – honoring all our relations.
Alabezu – ensuring that everyone has enough to live their lives with dignity.
Wicuhkemtuline – helping one another.
N’dilnabamuk – honoring all our relations.

Wicuhkemtuline – helping one another.
We are currently in the process of building an education center at WKC that will provide Wabanaki Peoples a place to gain traditional and cultural land-based teachings and to support numerous activities that move us toward greater self-determination.
The learning center will also offer courses on:
- Indigenous leadership
- Decolonization
- Social, Racial, and Environmental justice
- Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
- Indigenous Ecological Knowledge
- Matriarchy and the Maternal Gift Economy
