James McCarthy: 40-year-old answers are out-of-step with what Mainers want for Wabanaki tribes
For the past year-and-a-half, I’ve been a volunteer helping the Wabanaki Alliance educate Mainers about the need for securing full sovereignty of the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Mi’kmaq and Maliseet tribes in Maine.

Your Land: What’s in your ‘shed?
I come warily to this writing. It is, after all, summer’s end, and with it, our turn toward winter. Still, Mere Brook and its watershed insist. “We’re central; we’re Brunswick,” they might say if given voice’s chance.

Maine’s average residential electricity rates have soared to 22 cents a kilowatt – equal to Massachusetts’s, which used to be higher – and a 47% increase over a year ago.
