In 2001, the Aroostock Band of Micmacs and the Houlton Band of Maliseets published a report that defined and documented tribal values and priorities around land acquisition and natural resource use. This report demonstrates the importance of having access to land, plant, and animal resources to the Micmac and Maliseet community and culture, and their readiness to work with the conservation movement to expand their land base. Here is a brochure that summarizes the findings of the report, and here are graphical representations of the survey results.
