The Fight Back

For more than 150 years, Native tribes have been considered nations within a nation. But in Maine, the situation is far more complicated. Maine has restricted the rights of the tribes within its borders more than any other state. And the hardest thing is, the tribes in Maine agreed to this. 40 years ago… when they signed a deal to give away some of their rights. For money. On today’s episode… our final chapter… the tribes try to understand what that deal really meant… and they start to fight back. Brought to you in part by Bangor Savings Bank.
