An earlier post , Fort i c Pownall , wh h had occupied the bold , rocky promontory at Cape Jellison at the mout h of the Penobscot was no lon ger in x e istence , having been dismantled and burned by the militia 1 under Colonel James Cargi ll in J uly , 7 74 . For eleven years previous to its destruction , the old colonial fort had been under wa the command of Colonel Thomas Goldth it , who by his com pli an c e with an order from General Gage permitted a detachment greatly outn umbering his own meagre garrison to carry off the m cannon and spare ar s of the fort , and th us incurred the censure the of the Provincial Con g ress of Massachusetts Bay , loss of his an d command , v irtual banishment . Colonel G oldthwait deserves a word of more extended notice on account of the important p a rt h he took in settling and developing the Penobscot V alley . W ile fo r a i n command of Fort Pownall , he was appointed agen t a v st “ tract of land belonging to the Waldo heirs in that region . Later , in conj unction with Sir Francis Bernard , then governor t he of the province of Massachusetts Bay , he purchased a part of ebedi a h Waldo Patent from General J Preble , and appears to have been chiefl y instrumental in settling the Penobscot country “ with a population w hich he estimated at more than able ” 2 m n e . Colonel Goldthwait did not participate in establishing the e new post at Penobscot , but remained in retirem n t there or at 1 Castine until July , 7 79 , when he went aboard one of the fri g ates of the British fleet that entered Penobscot Bay to lay siege to a a d uc e B g .

Revised 1/77 A BRIEF HISTORY Pamp 4401 of the c.l PASSAMAQUODDY INDIANS By Susan M. Stevens - 1972 The Passamaquoddy Indians of Maine are located today on two State Reservations about 50 miles apart. One is on Passamaquoddy Bay, near Eastport (Pleasant Point Reservation); the other is near Princeton, Maine in a woods and lake region (Indian Township Reservation). Populations vary with seasonal jobs, but Pleasant Point averages about 400-450 residents and Indian Township averages about 300- 350 residents. If all known Passamaquoddies both on and off the reservations were counted, they would number around 1300. The Passamaquoddy speak a language of the larger Algonkian stock, known as Passamaquoddy-Malecite. The Malecite of New Brunswick are their close relatives and speak a slightly different dialect. The Micmacs in Nova Scotia speak the next most related language, but the difference is great enough to cause difficulty in understanding. The Passamaquoddy were members at one time of the Wabanaki (or Abnaki) Confederacy, which included most of Maine, New Hampshire, and Maritime Indians.

Over 120 estuaries are included (Appendix 3), representing over 90 percent of the estuarine surface water and freshwater inflow to the coastal regions of the contiguous United States. Each estuary is defined spatially by an estuarine drainage area (EDA)—the land and water area of a watershed that directly affects the estuary. The EDAs provide a framework for organizing information and for conducting analyses between and among systems. To date, ORCA has compiled a broad base of descriptive and analytical information for the NEI. Descriptive topics include physical and hydrologic characteristics, distribution and abundance of selected fishes and inver- tebrates, trends in human population, building permits, coastal recreation, coastal wetlands, classified shellfish growing waters, organic and inorganic pollutants in fish tissues and sediments, point and nonpoint pollution for selected parameters, and pesticide use. Analytical topics include relative susceptibility to nutrient discharges, structure and variability of salinity, habitat suitability modeling, and socioeconomic assessments.

Eugene Shephard, P.E. Principal Project Manager Associate Engineer US District Court – District of Maine Alternatives Evaluation Report Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2016, the United States District Court for the District of Maine (the Court) selected Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) to conduct the Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study (Phase III Engineering Study), to identify and evaluate feasible, effective and cost-effective measures to remediate mercury in the Penobscot River Estuary (the Estuary). The geographic area to be addressed within the Phase III Engineering Study is described by the Court as “the region from the site of the former Veazie Dam south to Upper Penobscot Bay, including Mendall Marsh and the Orland River." Beginning in 1967, a chlor-alkali facility located in Orrington, Maine released mercury into the Estuary. Releases of mercury at overall declining concentrations continued throughout facility operation and ceased with facility closure in 2000. In 2002, the Court ordered an independent scientific study, the Penobscot River Mercury Study, to assess the spatial distribution and impact of mercury discharge in the Penobscot River.

All these tribes spoke substantially the same language. The greatest difference in dialect being between the Etehimin and the others. The Etehimin formed a sub group which included the Halecite and tee Passamaquoddy, The Abnaki customs and beliefs are closely related to the hicrnac, and their ethnic relations arc with the tribes north of the St. Lawrence. The Abnaki village w;.m. situated near the mouth of the Penobscot River. From 1604, when Champlain went up that river to toe vicinity of the present Bangor the Abnaki were an important factor in the history of Paine. They occupied the region between the St. Johns River and the Saco River until their withdrawal to Canada. Through the influence of the French missionaries the Abnaki formed a close attachment for the French, and with them carried on an almost constant war with the English until the fall of the French power in America. Gradually the Abnaki withdrew to Canada, and settled at St. Francis, near Pierreville, Que. I -J ABNAKI, c >iit inued The tribes remaining at their ancient settlement8 are the Penobscot s, Passamaquoddy, and ivialecite. Peace was made by the Penobscots with the English in 1749, at which time their bounds were fixed.

No general list of Maine shells—including land, fresh-water and marine species—-has been published since 1843, when Dr. J. W. Mighels’ list was printed in the Boston Journal of Natural History. Dr. Mighels may be called the “Pioneer” conchologist of Maine. By profession a physician, in his leisure hours he was a most enthusiastic collector and student of all forms of molluscan life. Enthusiasm such as his was “contagious” and he soon had gathered about him a little band of active students and collectors. Of these Capt. Walden of the U. S. Revenue Cutter “Morris” was dredging in deep water and exploring the eastern shores and among the islands, and “by his zeal procured many rare species;” Dr.

Benjamin Burton Militia Encampment (ME 073.015) Part 4 Harbour Mitchell, III November, 2020 This Report In light of the overall amount of information gathered in two years of testing, and in an effort to make it as reader-friendly as possible, this report is comprised of five parts, Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, each being a separate volume. Each part represents a stand-alone section of the whole, with its own Table of Contents, Table of Figures, and Introduction. Part 1 includes: Executive Summary; Acknowledgements; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; Introduction; Geographical and Geological Context; Historic Background; Historic Ownership of Lot 71; and Regional Archaeological Context. Part 2 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figure; Introduction; Archaeological Rationale, Context, and Protocol . Part 3 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; Introduction; Soil Stratigraphy; Archaeological Stratigraphy; Features; Cultural Materials. Part 4 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; Introduction; Cultural Material Spatial Distribution; Conclusions; and References Cited. Part 5 includes: Executive Summary; Table of Contents; Table of Figures; and Appendices A-D. In its content, this report is primarily a descriptive effort – the what, where, and when of two years of archaeological testing. That said, given 1) an “umbilical” relationship between ME 073.015, ME 073.014, and the long forgotten trans- regional Warren Road, and 2) an identical relationship between the Warren Road and the Thorndike-Conway House (ME 373.017), and all of their temporal interconnectedness, it is near impossible to avoid introducing some interpretation, at least as it relates to site location and relationships.

My name is Matthew Dana II. I started my law enforcement career in 2001, with the Passamaquoddy Warden Service. I have held various ranks from Game Warden, up to the Chief Warden for the Passamaquoddy Tribe. I am currently the Chief of Police for the Indian Township Police Department, and have been for approximately a year and a half. I am here to testify In Favor of LD 272. I believe that having a Washington County Prosecutorial District separate from Hancock County, not only benefits the Passamaquoddy Tribe, it would greatly benefit Washington County as a whole. Washington County has the highest population density of Native Americans in Maine. Roughly 1800 persons or nearly 6% of the population of Washington County is Native American. The Passamaquoddy People have lived in this area, now currently known as Washington County, Maine and parts of New Brunswick, Canada, since time immemorial. There are two Passamaquoddy Reservations within Washington County. Sipayik, or Pleasant Point, is located on Passamaquoddy Bay near Eastport and Motahkomikuk, or Indian Township, is located inland on the shores of the western branch of the St. Croix River system. Both Reservations have own Police Departments and court systems.

  • NEFMC EFH Desigations
    NEFMC EFH Desigations developed as part of Omnibus Essential Fish Habitat Amendment 2 Amendment 14 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP Amendment 14 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop FMP Amendment 4 to the Monkfish FMP Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Herring FMP Amendment 2 to the Red Crab FMP Amendment 2 to the Skate FMP Amendment 3 to the Atlantic Salmon FMP New England Fishery Management Council 50 Water Street, Mill 2 Newburyport, MA 01950 (978) 465-0492 tel. Essential Fish Habitat or EFH is define as those waters necessary for spawning, breeding, feeding, and growth to maturity. Regional Fishery Management Councils are required to desginate EFH per the 1996 reauthorization of the Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulatory guidance about EFH designations and EFH consultations was published in 2002 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (Federal Register, Vol. 67, No. 12, p 2343-2383). This guidance recommends description and identification of EFH by species and lifestage, based on the best available sources of information. Per the guidance, both text descriptions of essential habitats as well as spatial depictions of the extent of EFH should be developed. The New England Fishery Management Council developed its current EFH designations via Omnibus Habitat Amendment 2 (OHA2). OHA2 represented the first update to the NEFMC’s original EFH designations, developed in 1999 or shortly thereafter. Development of OHA2 began in 2004, and the final regulations were implemented on April 9, 2018. The EFH designations were the primary focus of the first phase of work on the amendment, from 2004- 2007, but adjustments to the desginations were made throughout the process, up until final Council action in April and June of 2016.

  • Oct. TWENTY UNSETTLED MILES IN
    188 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct. TWENTY UNSETTLED MILES IN THE NORTHEAST BOUNDARY. BY THOMAS CORWIN MENDENHALL. FoK nearly throe hundred years, and almost without cessa- tion, thore has raged a conflict of jurisdiction over territory lying near to what is known as the Northeast Boundary of the United States. It has licen generally assumed, how- ever, that the Wobstcr-Ashburton treaty of 1842, together with the Buchanan-Packenham treaty of 1846, settled all outstanding differoncos with Great Britain in the matter of boundaries, and few people arc aware that thore is an important failure in these and earlier treaties, to describe and define all of the line which extends from ocean to ocean and fixes the sovereignty of the adjacent territory. From the mouth of the St. Croix Kiver to tho ocean outsido of West Quoddy Head is a distance of about twenty-ono miles, if the most direct route through Luboe Channel be taken. Somewhere, from the middle of the river at its mouth to a point in the ocean about midway between the island of Campobello and Grand Menan, the boundary be- tween Maine and New Brunswick must go, and, inferon- tially, for about one mile of this distance it is tolerably well fixod. But this is only an inference from the generally accepted principle that where two nations exercise jurisdic- tion on opposite sides of a narrow channel or stream of water, the boundary line must be found somewhere in that stream. That this has not been a universally accepted prin- ciple, however, will appear later. Throughout the remain- ing twenty miles, tho territory under the jurisdiction of the United States is separated from that under the dominion of 1896.] Twenty Unsettled Miles in iV.
