Due to Governor Paul LePage launching direct political and environmental attacks against the Penobscot, Micmac and Passamaquoddy tribes of Maine, leaders of those tribes have recalled their representatives from the state legislature and are asserting their sovereignty from the State of Maine. “The Maine Indian Land claims Settlement act has failed and we cannot allow ourselves to continue down the path,” Chief Francis said. “We’re saying it’s a failed social experiment.”

Bravo to these tribes! Let's hope that the author is correct that the reclaiming of sovereignty by more North American tribes, and similar, coincidental acts of secession by non-Indians, follows suit.
