However, for the Penobscots, the ship represented violence brought upon indigenous peoples following the arrival of European explorers and settlers in North and South America. Obviously, that hits a nerve with Indigenous people because of all the triggering thoughts about genocide and what Christopher Columbus stood for, Penobscot Nation Tribal Ambassador Maulian Dana said during an interview with NBC affiliate News Center Maine. If it was up to us, we d send this ship away immediately. While the ship s visit is not hosted by Maine200 and the bicentennial commission is not involved in the planning for this event, we regret that this ship was chosen for an event that is associated with Maine s bicentennial, as the mistreatment of Native Americans is a devastating part of Maine s history, said Maine200 Chairman Senator Bill Diamond, in a written statement. We are encouraging the event organizers to cancel the participation of the ship as part of their bicentennial celebration.
