Supreme Court ruling could help Indigenous people on Maine border cbc.ca 3 hrs ago Jacques Poitras © Submitted by Cynthia Howland Chief Hugh Akagi said he hopes the recent Supreme Court ruling will reinforce the belief that the Peskotomuhkati nation is one people. A Supreme Court of Canada ruling extending Aboriginal rights to some non-Canadian Indigenous people could have wide-ranging implications for the Peskotomuhkati living on both sides of the Maine-New Brunswick border. The decision says that U.S.-born Indigenous people with historical connections to territory now in Canada have rights under the Canadian Constitution. My people are already affected by everything around this ruling, so I m hoping that this ruling actually helps us to basically reinforce what we ve been saying all along: how we are one people, one nation, said Chief Hugh Akagi of the Peskotomuhkati, also known as the Passamaquoddy Nation.
