Click here to read &#8220;A Maliseet Chief&#8217;s Plea to President Obama.&#8221; These are stirring words, simply spoken, that go the heart of LD 291&#8217;s intention.  Plea is not the right word for [...]]]></description>

Thanks to John Dieffenbacher-Krall (Executive Director of MITSC) for sharing this history we all should know.  Quotes are from John&#8217;s email to me of 7-30-2009 and a sermon he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think for a moment about governments in distress, globally. There are contested elections, civil wars, usurpations of power,  repressed and unrepresented populations, revolutions, invasions, rampant fraud, tyrannical leaders, cartels and pirates.  Within Maine itself, tribal-state relations have, over the last year, come unraveled, a situation  documented in MITSC&#8217;s archive of News.

		<description><![CDATA[I like the phrase &#8220;original free and independent existence.&#8221; It comes from a lucid essay by Steven Newcomb, appearing in the May 1, 2009, Indian Country Today (On Non-Indian, Anti-Indian Law).
Newcomb does not discuss specific laws, such as the one I looked at in my last post. He does not propose new laws or suggest [...]]]></description>

At the time, my students were reading The Heart of a Chief, in which the tribal police are minor characters. How does law enforcement work on the reservations? they [...]]]></description>
