One Nation, Under Fraud: The Penobscot Remonstrance and the Fight for Sovereignty

JESUP MEMORIAL LIBRARY • May 20, 2026

MDI Historical Society, Abbe Museum, and Jesup Memorial Library will host a panel discussion offering a critical examination of Maine's historical and legal relationship with the Wabanaki Nations. Drawing on archival records—including the 1942 Maine Legislative Research Committee hearings—and landmark court decisions such as Murch v. Tomer and State v. Newell, the discussion reveals how law and policy were shaped to control, diminish, and deny Wabanaki sovereignty. At Jesup Memorial Library and on Zoom, Bar Harbor, Sept 10, 5 pm.
