In another sign of members’ increasing dedication, a full slate of candidates ran to fill more open leadership positions than last year. Yet, despite that good work, everyone recognized the depth of the danger facing working-class Mainers heading into Trump’s second term—not the least of which is the fact that local Republican county committees are openly celebrating Trump’s pardon for Maine’s very own <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/January6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>January6</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/insurrectionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insurrectionists</span></a>. </p><p>"Last week <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PineAndRoses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PineAndRoses</span></a> published a proposal to guide our organizing over the coming year and it was taken up at the conference.

During the debate, several members suggested the resolution ought to have a more clearly defined international section.

emsenn<p>The U.S. government questioning Native Americans' birthright citizenship isn’t just a bureaucratic issue—it’s a fundamental attack on Indigenous sovereignty. Native people are dual citizens: members of our sovereign nations first and foremost, with U.S. citizenship imposed on us in 1924 to erode that sovereignty. Now, the state is threatening to claw back even this imposed recognition, undermining treaty obligations and the legal frameworks that acknowledge our nations’ existence.</p><p>This is settler colonialism in action—using laws to erase and control. We’ve always existed as independent peoples, long before the U.S. imagined itself into being, and we’ll continue to exist regardless of what the settler state decides. This fight isn’t about fitting into their system; it’s about defending our right to govern ourselves on our terms.</p><p><a href="https://www.salon.com/2025/01/23/excluding-indians-admin-questions-native-americans-birthright-citizenship-in/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2025/01/23/excluding</span><span class="invisible">-indians-admin-questions-native-americans-birthright-citizenship-in/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandBack</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousSovereignty</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>Understanding <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TribalSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TribalSovereignty</span></a> </p><p>"For more than 40 years, the state of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a> has used legislation passed in 1980 to deny the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WabanakiNations</span></a>’ inherent tribal sovereignty, excluding the Houlton Band of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maliseet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maliseet</span></a> Indians, Mi’kmaq Nation, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassamaquoddyTribe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PassamaquoddyTribe</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PenobscotNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PenobscotNation</span></a> from many rights and protections guaranteed by Federal Indian Law. This has resulted in decades of social and economic barriers for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wabanaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wabanaki</span></a> people and surrounding communities."</p><p>Who We Are</p><p>"In June of 2020 the tribes in Maine (Mi’kmaq Nation, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HoultonBandOfMaliseetIndians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoultonBandOfMaliseetIndians</span></a>, Passamaquoddy Tribe and Penobscot Nation) formed the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WabanakiAlliance</span></a>. The Wabanaki Alliance was formed to educate people of Maine about the need for securing sovereignty of the tribes in Maine.</p><p>"In 1980, the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act was passed by Congress and ratified by the tribes and the State of Maine. The Settlement Act was supposed to be a living document that would be improved upon. Under political duress the tribes agreed to the Settlement Act but with the hope to continue improving the relationship between the State of Maine and the tribes. For forty years this has not happened.</p><p>"Because of the 1980 Settlement Act the Tribes in Maine have had their sovereignty stripped from them. The promise of improving the Settlement Act has never been fulfilled. Now the Tribes in Maine are treated less than every other federally recognized tribe in America. The Wabanaki Alliance is not asking for special privileges but fairness by having the same or similar sovereignty as the more than 500 other tribes across America.</p><p>"We ask all those who support the sovereignty of the Tribes in Maine to educate themselves on the issues, why they are important and join us in securing sovereignty.</p><p>"Use the resources on this page to learn more about the issue and its history, and then visit our Take Action page to find out how you can support Wabanaki sovereignty."</p><p><a href="https://www.wabanakialliance.com/sovereignty/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wabanakialliance.com/sovereign</span><span class="invisible">ty/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineSettlementAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaineSettlementAct</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousSovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiTribes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WabanakiTribes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Micmac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Micmac</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Miqmak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Miqmak</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousActivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousActivism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineTribes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaineTribes</span></a></p>
