The Penobscot Nation is the guardian and interpreter of the Penobscot culture and its arts, knowledge system, and spiritual traditions – past, present, and future. We have the right – and obligation – to protect our intellectual property and its strong connection to our ancestral lands and territories.
Therefore, we require that anyone wishing to begin a research/study project – or even to make an inquiry – about any aspect of the Penobscot Nation contact the Penobscot Nation Cultural and Historic Preservation Department to set up a consultation.
Meanwhile, we will continue to develop this section of our website to ensure researchers are aware of and follow the necessary protocols. We appreciate your cooperation.
