>     In 2012, the state of Maine declared that the Penobscot Indian reservation, which includes more than 200 islands in the Penobscot River, does not include any portion of the water. In  Penobscot Nation v Mills, the tribe argues that this amounts to territorial theft by the state. Spanning from the 1700's to the present-day legal battle, this documentary illustrates the Penobscots' long environmental stewardship and their fight to retain their territory and treaty-reserved, sustenance fishing rights for future generations.
