March 24, 2026: Maine Land Claims Research & Conclusions.
This show features Evan Richert and Roger Milliken Jr., two longtime leaders in land use, planning, and conservation in Maine.
They took a close look at the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act to answer a key question: who is right—the State or the Wabanaki Nations?
Their conclusion is clear—the Wabanaki Nations’ interpretation is correct, and the State’s position deserves closer scrutiny.
We’ll talk about what they found, why Maine stands apart on Tribal sovereignty, and what it means for the future of justice in our state. Listen here.
