A Monumental Welcome was the ambitious inaugural capital campaign of Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the campaign achieved three significant goals:

Tekαkαpimək translates from the Penobscot language to “as far as one can see” and is pronounced de gah-gah bee-mook. Elliotsville Foundation, Inc. partnered with a Wabanaki Advisory Board with representatives of the independent Native Nations that constitute the Wabanaki Confederacy – Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, Mi’kmaq Nation, Passamaquoddy Tribe at Motahkomikuk and Sipayik, and Penobscot Nation. Together, the partners created a visitor contact station in consultation with the National Park Service that reflects the peoples, natural resources, and future of the Katahdin region.
