In the record
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Passamaquoddy: Maine: state treaties violating the Nonintercourse Act and the 1980 settlement.
The records group it with Wabanaki nations (Maine). Today, Passamaquoddy (Motahkomikuk and Sipayik) carries this history, as their own pages or research records say. Land has come back: Tributary Land Returns (Wabanaki, Maine).
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
