Restoration of Penobscot Land Stewardship

Recently, the Elliotsville Foundation supported the #LandBack movement by returning stewardship of 735 acres of land to the Penobscot Nation. The land is in Williamsburg Township, Piscataquis County, Maine and rests between two parcels of land that are recognized as Penobscot territory.
Located west of the Pleasant River and the town of Brownsville, this is a broad landscape of River ecosystem and critical Atlantic Salmon habitat that connects the Penobscot River to Katahdin, the Sacred Mountain of the Penobscot People. The Elliotsville Foundation hopes this return of land to the Penobscot Nation may serve to inspire similar land stewardship restoration efforts.
