DEMOLITION CELEBRATION
Join us to recognize the history of the Nohkomess Apartments and to take another step towards a new future, before the building is demolished. After years of work and commitment by the Penobscot Nation and key partners the first step in construction of a new elderly apartment building is about to begin.
Tribal leaders, residents of Nohkomess apartments, elders, project partners, and community members are invited. We will begin with a picture of tribal elders in front of the building, and conclude with the first crash of the shovel on the building.
Light refreshments will be available following this.
When: Monday, September 24, 2018 at 9 AM
Where: Parking lot in front of 2-9 Nohkomess St.
