I guess Senator #AngusKing didn't read this article, eh?
Harvard study finds sovereignty constraints on Maine tribes caused them enormous economic damage
Colin Woodard, Portland Press Herald, Maine, December 9, 2022
"A new study by researchers at the Harvard Kennedy School has concluded that #Maine's tribes have been economically hobbled by the restrictions placed on their sovereignty and ability to access federal Indian policy under the terms of the controversial 1980 land claims settlement agreement."

My latest blog post... A reprint of an article I wrote in 2001, which makes the case for #Maine's #FirstNations to be caretakers of their waters, and also background of how the 1980 Maine Settlement Act screwed them over -- very relevant in light of #AngusKing's decision not to allow Maine Nations to have the same rights as other First Nations in the US! #WaterIsLife #Indigenous #NativeAmerican

I just finished watching #Dawnland, and now this happens? Maybe #AngusKing should watch it! No thanks to him for betraying #Maine #NativeAmericans and denying them the same rights as other #FirstNations!
Maine tribal leaders denounce Sen. King for blocking #Wabanaki sovereignty bill
Grrrrr...
Bill that would have given Maine tribes benefits of future federal law is blocked
"PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Congress has halted a bill that would have allowed #NativeAmerican tribes in #Maine to get the same benefits of future federal laws that tribes across the rest of the U.S. do.
"Native American leaders in Maine blamed independent Sen. #AngusKing for blocking the proposal, which would have applied to tribes bound by terms of a Maine land claims settlement.
"'There is no legitimate policy justification for the #Wabanaki Nations to be treated differently from all other 570 federally recognized Tribal Nations, yet that is what this outcome will perpetuate,' said Chief William Nicholas Sr. of the #Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township, known as Motahkmikuk."
