We are food and medicine providers who have been organizing as Eastern Woodlands Rematriation Collective (EWR) since 2018. During that time, local capacity and leadership in Wabanakik (now known as Maine) have thrived and we evolved with this growth into our new iteration– Niweskok: From the Stars to Seeds. We are responsible to our communities and our peoples of the Wabanaki Confederacy: Penobscot, Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, Abenaki. 

Board members of Niweskok include Heather Augustine (Mi’kmaq), Jasmine Thompson-Tintor (Penobscot), Andrea Francis (Mi’kmaq), Jus Crea Giammarino (Penobscot), Nicole Francis (Mi’kmaq) and  Alivia Moore (Penobscot).
