Small Hope Bay Lodge was built in 1960 by Dick Birch.  His son Jeff now runs the lodge and one of the hallmarks of the Birch family contribution to the community is their involvement with children's education and conservation efforts, both marine and terrestrial.  This level of involvement is now being taken to a whole new level by Jeff Birch and as group of volunteers who have just created the Small Hope Bay Foundation.  Here is some background as well as voices from the Lodge today. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ship-bright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ship-bright/support

This is a story of the Wind Bird as told to Author Sarah Stiles Bright by Wayne Newell, Passamaquoddy Elder, Educator, and advocate and keeper of their culture and language.  The Maine Lakes Conservancy Institute, which I founded, was given permission by Wayne to write, illustrate and publish this story with the caveat that the Maine Lakes Conservancy Institute distribute a free copy to every Elementary and Middle School in Maine which we did.  Proceeds from sales of the book went to underwrite our children's lake science education programs. In 2007 the book won the Gold Medal  🏅 Moonbeam Award at the Children's Humanities Festival in Chicago for promoting environmental awareness among young people. Wayne was a giant for his people.  I miss my old friend and colleague greatly.  Here is a link from the Library of Congress of Wayne singing a Passamaquoddy song.  Rest peacefully Wayne.  Your life had ripple effects that have broken gracefully upon unforeseen shores: https://www.loc.gov/item/ihas.200196441/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ship-bright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ship-bright/support
