Dive into the world of alewife conservation and river restoration from the perspective of the Penobscot Nation.
Join Dr. Susan in fascinating conversations with Chuck Loring, the Director at the Penobscot Nation Department of Natural Resources, and Dan McCaw, the Fisheries Program Manager at that department. Chuck describes the importance of “sea run” fish like alewives and salmon to the Penobscot people, and shares how the Penobscot view the river and its animals. Dan shares his personal journey and passion for fisheries management, influenced by his childhood experiences by the Sebasticook River in Maine, and describes the collaborative efforts behind alewife and river restoration. Dan also sheds light on successful endeavors that have helped revitalize alewife populations, and the complex interplay of federal, state, and tribal partnerships.
This episode also highlights two articles and features a beautiful and powerful Penobscot (nepi) water song.
In Penobscot:
nəpi
kkəseləmələpəna
kči-wəliwəni nəpi
kkihčitamitəhαmələpəna
In English:
water
we love you
thank you so much water
we respect you
The Penobscot (nepi) water song is written by Gabriel Paul and performed by his niece, Leigh Neptune. The water song sound engineering was done by Josh Woodbury.
