I found out today after searching for 6 years to find the answer to what tribe my ancestors are from sense all my elders passed before I was born. And my cousin ran into my mom the other day and my mom was telling her what I was searching for from my dads side and my cousin had spent years in Maine with my grandmother and had the answer all along. We are from the Passamaquoddy tribe. So now I’m looking up info and history and this was the first thing I saw. I’m so happy that land is being reclaimed. Now I search more knowledge about the tribe. I’ve lived in New England my entire life. Now it makes sense. If anyone knows who I can contact to learn more about the tribe and what it is like today I would love to gain more knowledge!

I'd like to see the deed on that land sale. We'll see if it's on file like it should be. Could this be another land trust scam where the Passamaquoddy don't really own it? My bet is that it is. There are people above Mainers, and above the tribes that want all the land. They are just using the "decolonize" craze among American traitors to have the land change hands so their lawyers can ruin the deed for future generations.

We were not a peaceful people. Hollywood has corrupt reality. 😮

This makes me so happy. So many people should not have been mistreated and lied to for so many years. My friends, the truehearts of America. What kind of people think it is OK to mistreat and be UNJUST towards other people?

As a Mainer with deep roots here, and likely some native blood mixed in my heritage, I am so so pleased. Goosebumps here too.

I think we should just turn over the running of the US government to Native Americans. They would do a much better job than a bunch of rich, old white guys.

That was unexpected good news. If land is given away by a governmental owner, it should be returned to the original owners. This will save the area from the Donald Trump administration.

This is ridiculous. They were conquered and are now just Americans like the rest of us.

That makes me so happy. My family settled in Groton Massachusetts back in 1695 and we’re all murdered by the Abernaki Indians, two of the sons had under the crawlspace in the house and then escaped and fled to Maine to Parker point.

Who lived on the land before these tribes? Do we know if there were other people there before them?

Give the land back, but the greed of the state and others doesn't want to return the stolen land. There is more land they need to return.

Impossible. The earth is only about 6,000 years old according to the Bible. If you do the math you’ll see 8 billion inhabitants is in line with that number as well. The math never lies.
Amen!
