one of 3 bills under consideration this term in attempts to promote Native American sovereignty, this one–returning the rights of the Passamaquoddy tribe at Sipayik to regulate their own water supplies working with federal agencies rather than state–has been signed into law by the Democratic governor. It'll permit the tribe to drill wells on its own land to ensure clean, fresh drinking water where, previously, it often had brown sludge and bad quality drinking water... this, in Maine heralded for its clean drinking water.
One of the other 2 bills is a far-reaching amendment of the Maine Indian Land Claims Act of 1980, which would grant the same rights to the tribes involved as other tribes nationwide.
