Passamaquoddy tribe has entered a new chapter of chaos

Nov 23, 20150

The Passamaquoddy Tribe has entered a new chapter of political instability as the senior elected officials at one of its two reservations have turned on one another in a fierce power struggle.

In recent months, governance at the Pleasant Point reservation near Eastport has plunged into chaos, with its chief having been suspended from his duties only weeks after trying to suspend his vice chief, who is in charge, at least for now.
