Although the representatives from the Penobscot Nation and the
Passamaquoddy Tribe don't have voting power on the house floor,
they serve on committees and may chair committees. Donna's first
session as representative of the Penobscot Nation was a difficult
one a personal struggle to have a voice, but also because of the
issues: changing offensive names, teaching Native American history
in Maine schools, casinos and racinos, and the interpretation of
sovereign rights for tribes. Some of the struggles and issues
remain as she continues to serve, and the perspective she offers as
a Native American and as a legislator is both valuable and
fascinating.
