How to observe #IndigenousPeoplesDay in #Maine
Dan Neumann October 6, 2023
"Tribal members and supporters will rally outside the Maine State House in Augusta on Indigenous People’s Day for #Wabanaki self-determination and transparency around Maine’s #treaty obligations toward tribal nations.
"The rally, organized by the #WabanakiAlliance, a coalition that includes representatives from hundreds of organizations and businesses that support #Wabanaki inherent sovereignty, will start at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 9 outside the capitol and conclude at 11:30 a.m.
"Participants will be able to make signs and learn more about the 'Yes on 6' campaign ahead of the rally.
"#Question6 on the November ballot asks whether voters support requiring 'that all of the provisions of the Maine Constitution be included in the official printed copies' distributed by the state.
"The tribes are supporting the ballot measure because, since 1876, printed copies of Maine’s Constitution have omitted three sections of the original document, including one pertaining to Maine’s treaty obligations toward the tribes.
"Monday’s Indigenous People’s Day marks a crossroads for the tribes and their allies, after legislation recognizing Wabanaki sovereignty was vetoed by Gov. Janet Mills last summer.
"The law would have amended the jurisdictional arrangement between the tribes and the state that Indigenous leaders have long criticized for leaving the #WabanakiNations with less authority over natural resources, gaming, taxation, criminal justice and economic development on their lands than 570 other federally recognized tribes.
"Celebration at Redbank in South Portland
"Also on Monday, the #SouthPortlandMaine #HumanRights Commission will be hosting an Indigenous People’s Day celebration from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Redbank Community Center, located at 95 MacArthur Circle West in South Portland.
"The celebration will feature speaker Corey Hinton, a citizen of the #Passamaquoddy Tribe at #Sipayik and a lead lawyer on tribal issues in Maine.
"The Cape Elizabeth Rotary will also be serving pancakes and maple syrup sourced from #PassamaquoddyMaple, a company that is '100% tribally owned, with a mission to provide a high-end, small batch, product that will not only sustain our tribal land, but also create jobs for our people.'
"South Portland’s Indigenous People’s Day event is free, family friendly, and open to the public.
"Other events
"The #AbbeMuseum in #BarHarbor is holding a week long series of events through Oct. 9 called “#Indigenous2023 – Celebrating Our Sovereignty“, including #storytelling, a #concert and free museum admission.
"University of Maine, #Farmington [#UMF] is holding events from Oct. 16-19 including a food tasting, storytelling, a film showing and a panel discussion on how to be an ally."

From my blog:
Protecting #Maine’s Life-Giving Rivers
December 21, 2022"This was a published news story that I wrote after interviewing leaders of Maine's First Nations and doing some research on the Maine Settlement Act. Even though it's from 2001, it gives background of what went wrong in 1980 (and before), and why Senator Angus King's betrayal of Maine's First Nations is just another BETRAYAL by white men in power! I still stand behind this piece, and so wish Senator King would have EVOLVED! Maybe he needs to attend a #Wabanaki REACH workshop and watch #Dawnland. Even allies like myself should watch Dawnland! Anyhow, here it is. And yes, there is a LOT more work to be done!"

Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil
"Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degreesThe time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our shareThe time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it backHow can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our shareFour wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendumu
The Western Desert lives and breathes
In forty five degreesThe time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our shareThe time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it backHow can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?How can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent now
To pay our shareThe time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We're gonna give it backHow can we dance
When our earth is turning?
How do we sleep
While our beds are burning?"

It would be great if all Native and Indigenous people would use the #Native and #Indigenous hashtags for all their posts.
*It builds community*
Yes allies need to use their own hashtags, #NativeAlly and #IndigenousAlly ???
And plant and animal people too... #NativePlant #NativeAnimal #IndigenousPlant #IndigenousAnimal ???
And people that that are not Native and were just born somewhere need to stop using the #native hashtag etc. etc.
