How can paying attention to history help us create a sustainable society? Over time, people’s ideas about sustainability have varied considerably, providing researchers with new insights about how sustainability can be cultivated. Micah Pawling’s research interests include the ethnohistory of the Wabanaki peoples of northern New England and eastern Canada. As a recipient of the Whiting Public Engagement Fellowship, he collaborates with the Passamaquoddy Tribe of Indian Township (Motahkomikuk) on community history.
