In April of 2022, Maine’s Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous, and Tribal Populations issued a report, One Nation, Under Fraud: A Remonstrance, outlining the history of tribal relations with the State of Maine and suggesting a framework for remedying those relations—for redressing the centuries of fraud and cultural genocide perpetrated by the state. This event will feature the report’s three co-authors, each of whom will share their unique perspective on the project and what it means for our community and the work before us today. The report is available here.

Speakers:

• Hon. Donna M. Loring, Penobscot Nation Elder and former Representative, Maine State Legislature
• Hon. Eric M. Mehnert, Chief Judge, Penobscot Nation Tribal Court
• Joseph G.E. Gousse, Esq., Berman & Simmons Trial Attorneys, UNE Political Science ’12
