Penobscot Nation secures 11,000 acres near Katahdin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Penobscot Nation completed on Wednesday the acquisition of 11,300 acres near Mount Katahdin. The transfer is the first phase of a vast land return known as Wáhsehtəkʷ — a term for the east branch of the Penobscot River — that will ultimately bring 30,000 acres back under tribal control. It could also lead to a new southern access route into Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. “These lands have always been part of who we are. Their return gives us the opportunity to care for them for
Maine’s tribal school district is celebrating test scores. The reality is more complicated. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Someone reading Reza Namin’s press release might think that the Maine Indian Education school district has broken the code. Test scores and chronic absenteeism rates there have seen a “significant multi-year turnaround,” according to Namin, making the tribal school district “a documented model worthy of national attention.” To the media, on LinkedIn and on the U.S. Bureau of Indian Education’s website, Namin has boasted about the improvements at the three schools under his supervision, while als

Read excerpt

Tribal officials asked voters in a regularly scheduled election whether the nation should complete

Passamaquoddy consider saving Eastport’s only grocery store (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Passamaquoddy Tribe at Sipayik is asking members whether it should explore the viability of buying Eastport’s grocery store, which closed Thursday. If completed, the sale could save the town’s only grocery store. Without the R&M IGA Foodliner, residents of Eastport and the reservation (also known as Pleasant Point) will have to get fresh produce at the Calais IGA, some 35-plus minutes away, or the much smaller Farmer’s Union in nearby Perry. Marylin Mills, owner of the Eastport IGA, announce
