INDIAN TOWNSHIP, Maine – After three decades of work, a group of native

dictionary unequalled in size, scope and depth.

Published by the University of Maine Press, the “Passamaquoddy-Maliseet
Dictionary/Peskotomuhkati Wolastoqewi Latuwewakon” made its debut in early
December. The volume is more than 1,200 pages long and includes 18,000 entries.
