INTRODUCING THE KITA CENTER
OUR FUTURE "HOME FOR HEALING" 


The KITA organization has been renting facilities throughout Maine since its establishment in 2013. In 2021, we embarked on an ambitious journey of building our future home in order to offer more programs, serve more people, and provide more permanency.

On this property as "The Kita Center", we remain steadfastly committed to our mission of upstream suicide prevention, championing healing through intentional connection.

But first, we need your help.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The word 'Kita' is an Abenaki-Penobscot word for “listen”.  The Loon Pond land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange among indigenous peoples for thousands of years and is the home of the Abenaki People. KITA honors, recognizes and respects these peoples, especially the Abenaki, as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we gather today. In that spirit, today we will begin by acknowledging that we are guest in this land. We need to respect and help protect the lands within our use

 

While we build our resilience through community, it is important to us to reflect on a greater future of inclusivity. Land acknowledgements are a way for us to reflect upon the duality of our work— while we work within our team, our community, and with our campers to promote greater inclusivity and abolish inequities.

​

The Kita Center is proud to support Abenaki Helping Abenaki, Inc.
