MONDAY, MAY 27, 2002 Two Maine tribes completed their walk for sovereignty on Friday. The Penobscot Nation and Passamaquoddy Tribe made the 43-mile journey to protest a state court order which required them to hand over internal tribal documents to paper companies. The tribes said the industry has polluted their waters. The tribes and the state were trying to work out an agreement regarding water quality in Indian Country. But the tribes pulled out, citing state contacts with the paper companies. Get the Story:
