(4-1) On motion of Speaker GIDEON of Freeport, the following Joint Order: (H.P. 1307)
WHEREAS, the ancestors of the members of the federally recognized tribes located in what is now the State of Maine inhabited these lands since time immemorial; and
WHEREAS, the tribal nations entered into the first treaty with the United States of America in July 1776 following its Declaration of Independence; and
WHEREAS, the United States adopted its Constitution in 1787 and the people of the State of Maine adopted their Constitution in 1819;and
WHEREAS, Indian tribes and their members have a legal political status recognized by the United States Constitution, including in Article I, Section 8, and by the Constitution of Maine, including in Article X, Section 5, and pursuant to various treaties entered into by the tribal nations and what is now the State of Maine;and
WHEREAS, in 1972, the Passamaquoddy Tribe initiated a claim against the United States government alleging that the transfer of a significant amount of tribal lands to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, including the District of Maine, was legally invalid because such transfers were not approved by the United States government, as required by the federal Non-Intercourse Act;and
WHEREAS, in 1975, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe v. Mortonaffirmed that a trust relationship, similar to that between the United States and other tribes, exists between the Maine tribal nations and the United States that would require the approval by the Federal Government of such land transfers and that the claims of the tribal nations could proceed; and
WHEREAS, the other Maine tribal nations alleged similar claims;and
WHEREAS, recognizing that protracted litigation would result in substantial economic and social hardship for large numbers of landowners, citizens and communities within the State, the tribal nations decided it was more prudent to negotiate a settlement of the land claims and other claims rather than continue litigation;and
WHEREAS, the tribal nations and Executive Branch of the United States negotiated terms of settlement that were encompassed in the February 10, 1978 Memorandum of Understanding;and
WHEREAS, the tribal nations were asked by the Maine Congressional Delegation to negotiate terms related to jurisdictional matters as a part of an overall settlement; and
WHEREAS, negotiations between the tribal nations and the State led to the passage of An Act To Implement the Maine Indian Claims Settlement in April, 1980 by the Maine Legislature, but the Act was not effective until the United States Congress in October, 1980 enacted the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980, Public Law 96-420; and
WHEREAS, An Act To Implement the Maine Indian Claims Settlement was passed into law in 1980 and the Micmac Settlement Act was passed into law in 1989; and
WHEREAS, the tribal nations and the State have engaged in significant litigation over many issues in the intervening years;and
WHEREAS, differing interpretations of the Acts have caused disagreements between the State and the tribal nations and have negatively affected the Wabanaki communities and hindered their ability to exercise tribal sovereignty for the benefit of their people; and
WHEREAS, the relationship between the tribal nations and the State would benefit from a reduction in litigation; and
WHEREAS, the tribal nations and the State desire that all of Maine's citizenry prospers, now, therefore, be it
