The Wabanki Nations


In June of 2020, the tribes in Maine (Mi’kmaq Nation, Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, Passamaquoddy Tribe, and Penobscot Nation) formed the Wabanaki Alliance.


The Wabanaki Alliance was formed to educate Mainers about the need to secure the sovereignty of the tribes in Maine.

Much of the Wabanaki Alliance's work stems from the 1980 Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act, which was supposed to be a living document that would be improved upon over time, but has seen no changes in over forty years.


Today, the Tribes in Maine have fewer rights than every other federally recognized tribe in the USA, and the Wabanaki Alliance is working to ensure Maine's tribes have the same or similar sovereignty as the other 500+ tribes in this country.
