Tekαkαpimək Contact Station, the welcome center at Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, is slated to open this summer. Designed in collaboration with Wabanaki leaders, it is one of the first major efforts in the state to boost Indigenous tourism.
The Penobscot Nation Museum and the Hudson Museum at the University of Maine Orono received a $100,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the project.
