First Nations communities in New Brunswick and Maine are celebrating the release
this week of a Passamaquoddy-Maliseet dictionary.

The dictionary is being presented to the First Nations communities after three
decades of work. The project began in the 1970s when organizers of an education
program in Maine decided a dictionary was needed to keep the Maliseet language
alive.
