Penobscot Nation to open hunts to non-Indians

Tuesday, July 31, 2007  

The Penobscot Nation of Maine is allowing non-Indians to hunt on tribal land for the first time.

For a minimum bid of $10,000, aspiring hunters can seek a permit to bag a moose. The package comes with a tribal guide, lodging and all meals. Hunters will also learn about Penobscot culture and history

"We want to build in some of the culture and history of the tribe, because we have such a deep tradition of hunting practices in this region," John Banks, the director of the Penobscot Nation Department of Natural Resources, told The Bangor Daily News.

Bids must be accepted by August 31. The hunt will run October 1-5.
