The language of this map contextualizes the differences in worldviews between settlers and Wabanaki people.
Wabanaki place names often reflect the landscape and what you could do in there, like fish for salmon or portage a canoe. This English map documents the history of land ownership, the incorporation of towns, and narratives about fighting between the Wabanaki people and the settlers.
