Abnaki: The Native People of Maine

Producer/director: Jay Kent for Maine Tribal Governors, Inc.

The Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, and Maliseet reflect on the past and their identities as indian people today. Issues surrounding the land claims suit of the Penobscott, Passamaquoddy, and Mailiseet tribes of Maine, settled out of court in 1980, are explored. The film documents many aspects of contemporary Native life on the east coast in the United States.
