Maine will return 11,297 acres of forest land to the Penobscot Nation in September 2026, marking the first phase of a broader land restoration effort. The initiative aims to restore over 30,000 acres of ancestral homeland to the tribe. The project launched in 2023 with a fundraising target of $32.5 million, of which $20.7 million has been raised so far. Regaining ownership will give the Penobscot Nation greater control over land management and conservation decisions. The effort represents a significant step in addressing more than a century of land dispossession for the tribe.
