Mainebiz.com reported the audiobook launch event for “Sea Run: A Study Regarding the Impact of Maine Policies on the Quality and Quantity of Traditional Tribal Fish Stocks and Sustenance Practices,” based on the same name of a a report co-authored by Anthony Sutton, University of Maine assistant professor of Native American food systems and citizen of the Passamaquoddy Nation. The report, which Sutton co-wrote with Judd Esty-Kendall, highlights the ongoing factors that impact tribal peoples’ fishing practices including access to fisheries. The event occurred on Oct 13, which is Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
Sutton, who holds appointments with UMaine and University of Maine Cooperative Extension, also co-wrote an op-ed with Bangor Daily News in which he highlighted the report. The op-ed also discusses the impact the elimination of fish species has had on the Wabinaki Nations and the factors that limit their access to fisheries.
