This was New France more particularly Acadie. Turns out Acadia isnt just a park its a mind-dazzling coastal spirit. G oing through the Portland pub- lic school system I was never told about the English raid on Saint- Sauveur. Instead we learned how horrible it was for the English to have expelled the fictional Evangeline from her home which thankfully was in Canada so we United First Contact M eet Mark Hedden 86. Hes the ar- chaeologist who discovered new petroglyph sites in remote corners of Machias Bay that surprise with images of European ships. Inspired by these carvings he has written exqui- sitely about first European contact between the first Mainers and the trading ves- sels of the early 17th century. To those who first saw them from Maines cliffs and shores these ships must have seemed more alarming than space ships. Heddens vision With every peck and scratch these shamans made into the stone to create these startling ship pic- tographs they were losing magic themselves by documenting that such a thing existed. The concept of contact a precise term for historians and archaeologists must be par- ticularly dear to Hedden now. He was in the news three years ago for having lost contact himself as he hiked in his 118-acre wilderness tract behind his house in Vienna Maine dis- appearing for hours. He independently found his way homejust ahead of the Warden Ser- vice dogs firefighters and ATVs that had been called in to comb the woods for him. More re- cently he broke his hip and has struggled with a lengthy stay in the hospital fighting to come home. Im getting his study ready and trying to order his materials in the hope hell get back to work here soon his wife Carol says. What Hedden has already given us is pre- cious. In Contact Period Petroglyphs in Ma- chias Bay Maine published in the journal Archaeology of Eastern North America Hed- den describes two previously unrecorded petroglyph sites in Machias Bay containing Native American representations of 17th-cen- tury sailing vessels. They are his discoveries. To a cultural historian the sites are important because the ships and associated designs give clues to what was going on in the minds of the Native Americans. Heddon believes the Machias stone en- gravings are part of an unbroken artistic tradi- tion going back to 3000 years. Of this lost picture show starring the European ships he writes There are good matches for the su- States survivors of the British narra- tive didnt have to feel guilty about it. This shrinking maneuver kept Aca- dia out of Maine entirely but for the nominal coincidence of tiny Acadia National Park. This wiping out of Maines French- ness not to mention its pre-existing Wabanaki identities is at the bottom of this feature story. At the top of it is fun because to understand Acadia is a chance to know the place you love as never before. Continued on page 107
