"INTERVIEW WITH CHIEF KIRK FRANCIS OF THE PENOBSCOT NATION WITH SUNLIGHT MEDIA COLLECTIVE MEREDITH DEFRANCESCO & DAWN NEPTUNE ADAMS."

"Sunlight Media Collective spoke with Penobscot Nation Chief Kirk Francis about the historic judicial review of the Penobscot River Case now underway. This En Blanc Review will assess whether the courts adequately applied Federal Indian Law when siding with the State of Maine's 2012 opinion that no part of the Penobscot River is Penobscot Tribal territory. The Penobscot Nation says this is an existential threat, and that they never ceded the waterways under any treaty or the Settlement Act, and the past case law supports their position. We also spoke with Chief Francis about the new State recognition of the Wabanaki Tribes under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), the Penobscot Nation's response to the Covid crisis, and reflections on the Black Lives Matter Movement & Racial Justice, police brutality, and more." Published July, 2020.
