Ohio Warpath and Maine Land Claims Stir Indian Grievances
The Passamaquoddy and Penobscot, aided by the Great White Father in Washington, press a five million acre Maine land claim.

The piece cautions that pre colonial land transfers followed shifting tribal rules and warns courts may apply the same logic to white settlers.
