Acadia National Park Ethnographic Overview and Assessment Volume 1 and Volume 2 This two-volume historical-ethnographic overview of Acadia National Park spans almost 500 years and covers a wide coastal stretch between Penobscot and Gouldsboro Bays – and sometimes much beyond. Such breadth of coverage is necessary in order to take in the park’s center piece on Mount Desert Island, plus Isle au Haut and Schoodic Peninsula, along with various land holding arrangements (including easements) on numerous offshore sea-islands in this area.1 The study explores the shifting but ongoing relationship between this habitat and Wabanaki peoples – a group of northeastern Algonquianspeaking ethnic groups or tribal nations today distinguished as the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot.

Normand “Norm” Joseph Bouchard was born on October 1, 1912 to John Bouchard and Katherine (Ouellette) Bouchard in Fort Kent, Maine. Normand married Alice L. Mitchell (1918-1972), daughter of Austin Malvery Mitchell and Lena G. (Norwood) Mitchell, on December 22, 1935 in Northeast Harbor, Maine. Normand “Norm” Joseph Bouchard died on October 15, 1973 in Southwest Harbor, Maine. “Norman Bouchard also built boats about that time. [the 1950s] He had come to town with the CCC and had married a local girl. He got a job in the boatyard during the war, and he picked up how to build boats. After the war boom was done, he started building on his own, and he turned out some fairly good ones. They were mostly lobster boats, but there were some pleasure boats too.” - “Ralph Stanley : Tales of a Maine Boatbuilder” by Craig S. Milner and Ralph W. Stanley, published by Down East Books, Camden, Maine 2004, p. 60.
