  • Re-Membering Norridgewock Stories and Politics of a Place Multiple
    RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ashley Elizabeth Smith December 2017 © 2017 Ashley Elizabeth Smith RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE Ashley Elizabeth Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is an ethnography of place-making at Norridgewock, the site of a famous Wabanaki village in western Maine that was destroyed by a British militia in 1724. I examine how this site is variously enacted as a place of Wabanaki survivance and erasure and ask, how is it that a particular place with a particular history can be mobilized in different and even contradictory ways? I apply Annemarie Mol’s (2002) analytic concept of the body multiple to place to examine how utilize practices of storytelling, remembering, gathering, producing knowledge, and negotiating relationships to variously enact Norridgewock as a place multiple. I consider the multiple, overlapping, coexistent, and contradictory enactments of place and engagements with knowledge that shape place-worlds in settler colonial nation-states. Rather than taking these different enactments of place to be different perspectives on or versions of place, I examine how these enactments are embedded in and shaped by hierarchies of power and politics that produce enactments of place that are at times parallel and at times contradictory. Place-making is especially political in the context of settler colonialism, where indigenous places, histories, and peoples are erased in order to be replaced (Wolfe 2006; O’Brien 2010).

    Paul Sannicandro May 27, 2016 Moose Woods Guide Service, LLC P.O. Box 83 Millinocket, ME 04462 The Honorable Rob Bishop Chairman – Committee on Natural Resources U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Re: Testimony for Wednesday, June 1, 2016, “Elevating Local Voices and Promoting Transparency for a Potential Monument Designation in Maine” Dear Chairman Bishop, My name is Paul Sannicandro. I want to first give thanks for the opportunity to share my testimony with you and the Committee on Natural Resources, on an issue of profound importance to those that live in the Katahdin Region, in the great State of Maine. I’m a Registered Maine Guide, who has called the Katahdin Region home for the last twenty years. During the majority of that time, I managed wilderness hiking trails as the Trail Supervisor of Baxter State Park. I’ve also been an advocate and volunteer, for diversifying the tourism economy of the region, by working with my local ATV & Snowmobile Club, in negotiating with private landowners, for securing, maintaining and developing ATV trail access for connectivity to Maine’s larger trail network. Most recently, I’ve launched a four-season guide business, catering to visitors of the Katahdin Region. I also hold a seat on the Millinocket Town Council. I am not here to testify on behalf of the constituents of Millinocket, for this controversy has been divisive in our town. I’m here to testify on my own behalf and for my interests in Recreational Tourism, Economic Development and securing my values, future and how I interpret this great State as, “Maine, The Way Life Should Be”.

  • Penobscot Bay Watch
    PENOBSCOTBAY Maine National Estuary Program Nomination STATE OF MAINE OFFICEOF THE GOVERNOR AUGUSTA. MAINE 04333 ANGUS S. KING, JR. GOVERNOR March 6, 1995 Administrator Carol Browner US. Environmental Protection Agency 401 M. Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 Dear Ms. Browner: 1 am pleased to submit a State of Maine Conference Agreement that nominates Penobscot Bay for designation in the National Estuary Program. The Agreement describes the Bay's key issues and actions to respond to them, how we will continue to involve the public in developing and implementing solutions to these most pressing issues, and how we propose to finance this estuary project. Our nomination for Penobscot Bay is consistent with EPA's December; 1994 guidance that calls for considerable initiative by a state before requesting designation. Public and private entities have worked cooperatively since 1992 and made remarkable progress. Two major conferences have brought together all levels of government, the nonprofit community, Bay businesses and the public to talk openly about key issues and possible solutions. These and other activities described in the attached document have laid a solid foundation for a successful national estuaq project. I believe our estuary project will be successfully implemented because of the active participation of five state agencies over the past three years. These agencies (the Departments of Environmental Protection, Marine Resources, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Economic and Community Developmenf and the State Planning Office) are committed to this project and I am confident that in concert with our nonprofit, municipal and business partners we will m&e important strides to protect and restore Penobscot Bay.

  • Katahdin Iron Works and Its Effect on the Water Quality of the West Branch of the Pleasant River
    Katahdin Iron Works and its Effect On the Water Quality of the West Branch of the Pleasant River Katahdin Iron Works Township (T6 R9 NWP) Piscataquis County, Maine, USA By Mark Whiting Maine Department of Environmental Protection Bangor Regional Office 106 Hogan Road, Suite 6 Bangor, Maine 04401 Ore Excavation Pit, Ore Mountain, Photo by Mark Whiting June 14, 2010 DEPLW-1172 I. Introduction and Background Information: The Pleasant River is a tributary to the Maine’s largest river, the Penobscot. The Penobscot River watershed has the vast majority of the federally-listed endangered Atlantic salmon in Maine, accounting for 95% of the adult returns. Furthermore, this watershed is likely to play an increasingly important role in the conservation of Maine Atlantic salmon. In 2004, an agreement was signed to restore 11 sea-run fish species on the Penobscot River, while at the same time preserving hydroelectric power capacity. The non-profit Penobscot River Restoration Trust was created to raise money and coordinate the activities of the restoration partners. These include the Penobscot Indian Nation, six environmental groups, the hydropower dam owner, and State and Federal agencies. The project involves the removal of the two lower dams on the river, Veazie and Great Works. The Milford dam will have improved fish passage and the Howland dam will be decommissioned and by-passed by a natural-looking river channel. To find out more about the restoration program visit the Penobscot River Restoration Trust website (http://www.penobscotriver.org/). The Piscataquis River is one of the major western tributaries to the Penobscot.
