\u201cWho Owns the Earth?\u201d explores the question from the perspective of Maine populations \u2014\u00a0from traditions of indigenous peoples, to legal claims of descendants from European colonists, to the experience of more\u00a0recent immigrants, such as the Somali communities in Portland and Lewiston. \u00a0Who owns the land,\u00a0access to fisheries, to clean water? \u00a0Strife over these resources has often sparked conflicts along racial,\u00a0ethnic and cultural divides in the region. \u00a0Three speakers address facets of this immensely complex question,\u00a0considering the concept of ownership itself.<\/p>\n

Maine fisheries: Allocation of the \u00a0benefits of a valuable public trust resource<\/em>. \u00a0The history of fisheries in Maine (and elsewhere) has been one of open access fisheries leading to\u00a0declines in\u00a0stock abundance. \u00a0 Limiting access to fisheries is a wide spread response to conditions of scarcity. The allocation and, in some cases, monetization of access rights has skewed the flow of benefits from Maine’s fisheries.\u00a0 She will use Maine’s groundfishery and lobster fishery as examples, and describe the Passamaquoddy proposal to allow every tribal member the right to fish.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
