Compromise urged in Maine Indian land claims dispute
Maine Attorney General Joseph Brennan urged the U S Justice Department to accept monetary damages in exchange for relinquishing tribal claims to property across about 8 million acres held under the 1790 Non-Intercourse Act. The Penobscot and Passamaquoddy tribes seek roughly 300 million dollars, while Brennan calls for liability to cover large paper companies alongside individuals. The tribes prefer damages funded by the state, not private landowners, and want the United States or Maine named as the sole sovereign.
