I worked with—and deeply admired—Helen for almost 30 years. She was hands down *the best source* about emerging infectious diseases that I've ever known. My first warning of COVID was when on Dec 28, 2019 she reposted a ProMED mail report of an atypical pneumonia cluster: "This doesn't look good."

Maine has failed the Wabanaki Nations — the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, the Mi’kmaq Nation, the Passamaquoddy Tribe, and the Penobscot Nation — by refusing to fully recognize and respect their inherent sovereignty. In the U.S. Senate, I’ll fight to change that.

🧵 For Wabanaki communities, the return of ancestral lands is helping sustain the art, knowledge, and traditions that connect generations. Artists teaching porcupine quill work. Canoe builders sharing their craft. Elders showing young people how to harvest traditional foods and medicines.

As more land in Maine is returned to Indigenous communities, a new fund is supporting traditional practices on that land.
