Negotiations Outlined For Maine Indian Pact
Washington AP reports the Justice Department outlined a plan for negotiated settlement of Penobscot and Passamaquoddy land claims in Maine. A Carter administration appointee would assist, with a potential submission to Congress. Tribes seek about 12,000,000 acres or more than 60 percent of Maine, later reduced to roughly 5 million acres affecting about 90,000 non Indians. Officials cautioned values may not be astronomical. Governors and tribal leaders praised the move as a step toward resolving a long dispute, while Maine leaders note the state’s position remains cautious.
