Please offer your heartfelt support for LD 291 – an Act to Require Teaching Maine Native American History and Culture in Maine’s Schools. It is centuries late in honoring the contributions of the Indian people. We will benefit greatly from leaning more of the true and honest history of Native Americans and their rich culture.

Can you imagine a society where there were no prisons, police, youth detention centers, day care; where children were never yelled at or punished; where the care of children was a sacred trust; and respect for all things was how people lived their lives in harmony with nature?

We all have much to learn from these people. Please write or phone your legislators and Gov. Angus King. Please engage in dialogue with others about this important bill and encourage others to actively support it as well.
