Nibezun

Nibezun is a unique Native led nonprofit organization located on sacred Wabanaki land along the Penobscot River in Passadumkeag, Maine. In this way, Nibezun is both a sacred site and a dynamic organization. Wabanaki Nations were the original inhabitants of the state of Maine and beyond, the five nations, the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and the Penobscot, formed a united confederacy known as the Wabanaki. The word Wabanaki means the People of the First Light. At Nibezun, we celebrate culture as medicine, provide an inclusive space for healing, and promote sustainability for all people and future generations.
