Description

A partial, historical timeline of Wabanaki-Maine relations dating from 1095 with the declaration by Papal Bull Terra Nullius extending to European royalty permission to "discover" and colonize 'non-Christian' lands, to the Great Dying (1616-1619) when 75% of all Wabanaki people died of European diseases, to Governor Janet Mill's 2021 veto of a bill to permit Maine's Wabanaki nations to develop legalized gaming as an economic resource. Information provided originates from Wabanaki resources.
