The Sebago drainage area was outside of the c.60% of the State of Maine involved in the Maine Indian Land-Claims Cases of the 1970s, because the traditionally-resident ABENAKI were not involved. However, an ironic current sequel to the 1980 Congressional settling of those claims does involve the Sebago drainage. Some of the money from the 1980 Settlement funded the Passamaquoddy (of Washington County ME, way Down-East) to buy land, and some of the land that they bought is in Albany Township, on the Crooked River south of Bethel. If the ABENAKI ever get officially recognized as a legal Native American group (as the Passamaquoddy did in 1980), and start their own land-claims case, surely the now-Passamaquoddy land on the Crooked River would be within traditional Abenaki territory, and thus be just as much an intrusion thereon as any Whitefolks have made!
