Why Tribal Sovereignty? A discussion with Maulian Dana, Penobscot Nation Ambassador & President of the Wabanaki Alliance (Charlie O'Brien)

Maine, alone among all other states in the U.S., does not recognize the sovereignty of the federally recognized tribes in our state—sovereignty honored in the U.S. Constitution and inherent in the Wabanaki people who have lived on and stewarded this land we now call Maine for thousands of years. Bills submitted to the 131st legislature seek to restore Wabanaki tribal sovereignty in a step towards repairing the broken tribal/state relations. Join us in learning why acknowledging and restoring Wabanaki sovereignty will benefit all people who live in Maine.

This event is a collaboration of: Midcoast Indigenous Awareness Group, Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick Maine, Curtis Memorial Library

Wednesday, March 8, 2023, 6:30pm - 8:00pm. This is an online event. Event URL will be sent via registration email.
