“nibezun” means medicine in the Penobscot language. The root word “nibi” – or water – is our first medicine. At nibezun, we water the seeds for the future through culture, connection, and community.

nibezun is located along the Penobscot River on traditional meeting grounds of the Wabanaki. People gathered here for generations to gather red ochre and hold ceremonial gatherings.

The Seven Seeds of healing are Mind, Body, Spirit, Social Connection, Culture, Language, and Earth. Together we plant the Seven Seeds of Healing through the healthy lifeways of the Wabanaki.
