Peggie's Tape A (21 Jul 80)

A
BILL
To provide for the settlenent of land claims of Indians, Indian nations
arrl tribes and l:::ands of· Indians in the State of Maine, including the
the Passamcquoddy Tribe, the Penobs~::,t Nation, and the Houlton Band
of Maliseet Indians, arrl for other purposes.
Be it enacted
EY.
the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of AITErica in Congress asserrbled, That this Act may be
cited as the "Maine Indian Claim; Settlerrent Act. of 1980".
CXNGRESSIONAL FilIDINGS AND DECLARATIOO OF POLICY
Sec. 2.
(1)
(a) Congress hereby finds arrl declares that:
The Passanaquoddy Tribe, the Penol:scot Nation, arx:1 the Maliseet
Tribe are asserti rg claim; for pcssession of lands within the State of
Maine arrl for damages on the grounds that the lands in question were
originally transferred in violation of law, including the Trade and
Intercourse Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 137), or suts~uent reenactrrents or
versions thereof.
(2)
The Indiarn, Indian natiorn, arx:1 tribes and l:a.nds of Indians,
other than the Passama:;iuoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation and the Houlton
Baro of Maliseet Indiarn, that once may have held aboriginal title to
lands within the State of Maine long ago al:::arx:Joned their aboriginal holdings.
(3)
The Penol:scot Nation, as represented as of the tirre of passasge
of this Act by the Penobscot Nation's Governor and Council, is the sole
successor in interest to the aboriginal entity generally kno.m as the
Penobscot Nation whidl years ago claimed aboriginal title to certain lands
in the State of Maine.
( 4)
The P~ssarnaquoddy Tribe, as represented as of the tirre of passage
of this Act by the Joint Tribal Council of the Passarncquoddy Tribe, is
the sole successor in interest to the aboriginal entity generally known as
�-2the Passamaquoddy Tribe which years ago claimed aboriginal title to
certain larrls ~n the State of Maine.
r
(5)
The Houlton Barrl of Maliseet Indians, as represented as of
the tine of passage of this Act by the Hoolton Band Council, is the sole
successor in interest, as to larrls within the United States, to the
aboriginal entity generally kn0tm as the Maliseet Tribe which years ago
clairred aboriginal title to certain lands in the State of Maine.
(6)
Suootantial ecooanic and social hardship to a large number
of larrlowne?:S, citizens arrl canm.mi ties in the State of Maine, arrl
therefore to the econOif!Y of the State of Maine as a whole, will result if
the aforanentioned claims are not resolved pranptly.
(7)
This Act represents a good faith effort on the part of
ConJress to pro.ride the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation arrl the
Ha.ilton Barrl of Maliseet Indians with a fair arrl just settlenent of their
larrl claim;.
In the absence of con:)ressional action, these land claim;
wa.ild be pursued throogh the coorts, a process which in all likelihood
wa.ild oonsurre many yea?:S arrl thereby prarote hostility arrl uncertainty in
the State of Maine to the ultirrate detrinent of the Passamcquoddy Tribe,
the Penooocot Nation, the Hoolton Barrl of Maliseet Indians, their members,
arrl all other ci. tizens of the State of Maine.
( 8)
The State of Maine, with the agreanent of the Passamaquoddy
Tribe and the Penobscot Nation, has enacted legislation defining the
relationship between the Passamaquoddy Tribe, the Penobscot Nation, arrl
their nerrbers, and the State of Maine.
(9)
Since 1820, the State of Maine has provided special services
to the Indians residin:J within its borders, including the nerrbers of the
Passarncquoddy Tribe, the Penol::scot Nation, arrl the Houlton Barrl of Maliseet
Indians.
During this sane period, the United States provided few special
services to the respective Tribe, Nation or Barrl, arrl repeatedly denied that it
•. .
�-3hcrl jurisdiction over or responsibility for the said Tribe, Nation, and
Barrl.
In view of this pr011ision of special services by the State of Maine,
requiring sul:stantial expenditures by the State of Maine arrl made by the
State of MaiQe wi th:>Ut beiIT:3 ~uiroo ··tc/ do so by Fooeral law, it is the
intent of Congress that the State of Maine not be required further to
contribute directly to this claims settlenent.

To provide for the settlement of land claims of Indian
tribes in the State of Maine, including the Passamaquoddy
Tribe and the Penobscot Nation, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Ame~ica in Congress
assembled, that this Act may be cited as "The Maine
Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1978."
CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY
Sec. 2(a)
Congress hereby finds and declares
that -(1)
The Passamaquoddy Tribe and the
Penobscot Nation are asserting claims for damages.and
for possession of large areas of land ih the State of Maine,
on the ground that the original transfers of the lands
by the tribes to the States of Massachusetts and Maine
were made in violation of the Trade and Intercourse Act
of 1790, or subsequent versions thereof.
(2)
Congress recognizes that substantial
economic and social hardship to a large number of landowners
in the St~te of Maine, and therefore to the economy of the
State as a whole, will result if parts of the tribes' claims
are not resolved immediately.

At the same time, it is the desire
of c6ngress to preserve the tribes' claims to at least
a portion of the areas to which they assert rights.
(4)
The Passamaquoddy Tribe and the
Penobscot Nation have entered into a Memorandum of Under~_tanding with ~~-p~~-~_e_nt~-~~ves __ of the President wherein th_§ __
Passa~aquoddy Tribe and the Penobscot Nation agree to a
eartial settlement of their claims.
(b)
Therefore, it is the purpose of this
Act --
(1) to remove the cloud on the titles
to millions of acres of land in the State of Maine re~ulting
from the tribes' claims, while at the same time preserving
the tribes' opportunity to assert their claims with respect
to certain lands held by the State of Maine and tracts
held by private landowners in excess of a minimum acreage; and
(2)
to provide for a timely resolution
of all other similar Indian claims to land or natural
resources in the State of Maine.

To provide for the set tle1:·,en t of land clair1s of Indian
tribes in the State of Maine, including the Passamaquoddy
Indian Tribe anc1 the Penobscot Indian Uation, and for
other purposes.
Be it enacted bv the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America in Conqress
asser..bled, that this Act r,1ay be cited as "The · Maine
Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1978."
CONGRESSI0Nl1L FINDHJGS i:~.ND DECLARA'l'IotJ OF POLICY
Sec. 2(a)
Congress hereby finds and declares
that --
(1)
The Passamaquoddy Indian Tribe and
the Penobscot Indian Nation are asserting claims for damages
and for possession of large areas of land in the State of Maine,
on the ground that the original transfers of the lands
'l'r
!'
by the Tribes to the States of Massachusetts and Maine
were made ' in violation of the Trade and Intercourse Act
.
.
of 1790, or subsequent versions thereof.
(2)
Congress recognizes that substantial
economic and social hardship to a large number of landowners
in the State of Maine, and therefore to the economy of the
State as a whole, will result if parts of the Tribes' claiMs
are not resolved immediately.
�-
2 -
At the same tir.:e, it is the desire
(3)
of Congress to preserve, for the pres on t t irne, the Tribes'
claims to at least a portion of the areas to which they assert
rights, pending a comprehensive solution to the Tribes' overall
claims.
(b)
Therefore, it is the purpose of this
Act --
.
(1) to remove the cloud on the titles
to millions of acres of land in the State 9f Maine resulting
from the Tribes' claims, w_ ile at the sar:1e time preserving
h
the Tribes' opportunity to assert their claims with respect
to certain lands held by the State of Maine and tracts
held by private landowners in excess of a rniniFlum acrea']e; cJ nd
(2)
to provide for a timely resolution
of all other similar Indian claims to land or natural
resources in the State of Maine.

Description
An account of the resource
Section 2 of this draft deals with Extinguishment of Claims (what is now found in 25 U.S.C. 1723). Section 2 extinguishes claims involving transfers of lands or waters (or rights to their use). Section 3 provides a remedy against the U.S. for damages related to the extinguished claims. Section 2 does not "constitute a finding that any [federal laws] were applicable to any such transfer." Section 4 of this draft deals with Application of State Law (an early version of what we now know as 25 U.S.C. 1725). What we know today as 25 U.S.C. 1735(b) is not yet included.
