La bibliothèque Maskwa (“écorce de bouleau” en abénaki) est implantée dans la communauté abénakise de Wôlinak (en Mauricie). Elle a rouvert ses portes en 2017, sous la gestion du Grand Conseil de la Nation Waban-Aki. Comme la communauté ne possède pas d’écoles la bibliothèque offre un espace éducatif (sélection de livres, diffusion de documentaires, service d’aide aux devoirs…) ouvert aux personnes de tous âges. En complément avec le projet Niona, équipe-jeunesse d’intervention intergénérationnelle de Wôlinak qui s’intéresse à la culture abénakise, la bibliothèque développe un répertoire de ressources culturelles afin de permettre aux jeunes de la communauté d’en apprendre davantage sur leurs origines. Maskwa est également le lieu de développement des compétences professionnelles par l’entremise de stages offerts aux jeunes abénakis.
