Wabanaki, the "People of the Dawn", is a hoop of seven great nations, each with their own sub-groups.
13 September 2007 during the 61st UN general assembly the United Nations (UN) Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was passed. The Declaration was more than two decades in the making. This group is to discuss Indigenous Rights and all related subjects having to do with human rights in general, and the reclamation of our identity, culture, society, language, and other rights as Indigenous people of the sovereign Wabanaki Seven Nations.
Waponahkiyik, the Wabanaki Confederacy, is an historic, traditional alliance of five Algonquian language speaking Nations: the Mi'kmaq (L'nu'k), Abenaki (Alnobak), Penobscot (Panwapskewiyik), Passamaquoddy (Peskotomuhkatiyik), and Maliseet (Wolastoqewiyik).
