Tribe Loses Claim to Key Maine Waterway The Penobscot River, celebrated by Thoreau and Stephen King, belongs to the state and not to the tribe of the same name, the First Circuit holds.

(Courthouse News via Wikimedia) BOSTON (CN) A Native American tribe that claimed the right to regulate fishing, boating and other recreation on one of Maine’s most important rivers lost Thursday in a contentious 3-2 decision by the en banc First Circuit. The Penobscot Nation owns a number of islands in a key 60-mile stretch of the main stem of the Penobscot River near Bangor. But it also claimed to own the river itself an assertion that the court tossed out in a mammoth 136-page decision that sifted through the history of Native American treaties going back to 1715.
