Passamaquoddy

having erected crosses at different points and named the places from that circumstance the country of the Holy Cross.

However it may have happened, difficulties ensued in ascertaining the precise islands in the Bay of Passamaquoddy belonging to each power and the highlands meant by the Treaty of 1783.

This induced the commissioners of the two powers at the Treaty of Ghent to provide against any misunderstanding in these points for the future by the fourth and fifth articles of that treaty.

The fifth article, bearing particularly on this point, states that, whereas neither that point of the highlands, lying due north from the source of the River St. Croix, designated in the former treaty of peace between the two powers as the northwest angle of Nova Scotia, nor the northwesternmost head of Connecticut River, have yet been ascertained, and whereas that part of the boundary line between the dominions of the two powers, which extends from the source of the River St. Croix directly north to the above-mentioned northwest angle of Nova Scotia, thence along the said highlands which divide those rivers that empty themselves into the St. Lawrence from those which fall into the Atlantic Ocean to the northwesternmost head of Connecticut River, thence down along the middle of that river to the 45th degree of north latitude, thence by a line due west on said latitude, until it strikes the River Iroquois or Cataraki, has not yet been surveyed, it is agreed that for these several purposes two commissioners shall be appointed, sworn and authorized, to act exactly in the manner directed with respect to those mentioned in the next preceding article, unless otherwise specified in the present article.

The squares could then have been kept uniform in width, and the main streets could have continued without a jog the whole length of the town, which would be a great improvement to the looks of the place.

St. Andrews The frontier town of New Brunswick lies nearly opposite Robinstown, in the state of Maine.

It is a small, pleasant seaport in the county of Charlotte, being situated near the river St. Croix, on a narrow strip of low land fronting the bay of Passamaquoddy, with a range of hills in the rear.

It has two principal streets running parallel with the water, which are intersected by cross streets at right angles.

Yeah,

and you were always told that you were of Passamaquoddy.

And Micmac.

And Micmac descent.

There were in 1837, as I read, two hundred and fifty sawmills on the Penobscot and its tributaries above Bangor, the greater part of them in this immediate neighborhood, and they sawed two hundred millions of feet of boards annually.

To this is to be added the lumber of the Kennebec, Androscoggin, Saco, Passamaquoddy, and other streams.

No wonder that we hear so often of vessels which are becalmed off our coast being surrounded a week at a time by floating lumber from the Maine woods.

The mission of men there seems to be like so many busy demons to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountainside, as soon as possible.

In the next nine miles, which were the extent of our voyage, and which it took us the rest of the day to get over, we rode across several small lakes, poled up numerous rapids and thoroughfares, and carried over four portages.

I will give the names and distances for the benefit of future tourists.

First, after leaving Ambigis Lake, we had a quarter of a mile of rapids to the portage, or carry of ninety rods around Ambigis Falls, then a mile and a half through Passamaquoddy Lake, which is narrow and river-like, to the falls of the same name, Ambigis Stream coming in on the right.

Then two miles through Katapsconagan Lake to the portage of ninety rods around Katapsconagan Falls, which name signifies carrying place.

A Prophet of War.

Nell Hilton's ghost will appear on the big rock of Hilton's Neck, Jonesboro, Maine, wave its hands, and give the Passamaquoddy war whoop at dawn on the 1st of March of any year in which this country shall engage in war.

She foretold the French and Indian troubles and the revolution before her death, and after it, she prophesied our break with England in 1812, with Mexico, and the Civil War.

Nell Hilton was a Puritan girl who, in 1740, wearying of the coldness and strictness of life in Plymouth, prevailed on her father to move to the Passamaquoddy country where they might enjoy a little liberty.

She proposed to have her own share of it, anyhow, for her father, returning to his cabin in Jonesboro on a certain evening, found her in the embrace of a big Indian and submitting with smiles to his kisses.

After killing and scalping his visitor, he learned that the girl had just engaged herself to him as his future wife.

This uncertainty about the rivers at that time might have arisen from the general name of St. Croix, which was given by Europeans to all the rivers falling into the Bay of Fundy, occasioned by the French on their first landing in the country, having erected crosses at different points, and named the places from that circumstance the country of the Holy Cross.

However it may have happened, difficulties ensued in ascertaining the precise islands in the Bay of Passamaquoddy belonging to each power, and the highlands meant by the Treaty of 1783.

This induced the commissioners of the two powers at the Treaty of Ghent to provide against any misunderstanding in these points for the future by the fourth and fifth articles of that treaty.

St. Andrews The frontier town of New Brunswick lies nearly opposite Robins Town in the state of Maine.

It is a small, pleasant seaport in the county of Charlotte, being situated near the river St. Croix, on a narrow strip of low land fronting the Bay of Passamaquoddy, with a range of hills in the rear.

It has two principal streets running parallel with the water, which are intersected by cross streets at right angles.

The project would occupy 27 acres under the water, And it's been scaled down from an initial 51 megawatt concept to a maximum of 15 megawatts.

Strong opposition from the residents and the Passamaquoddy tribe is showing how AI search for unconventional energy and cooling locations can collide directly with working waterfronts and digital interests and local environmental priorities.

So interesting.

They're trying to do that, but it's, you know, I mean, how far should, you know, allowing AI infrastructure to reshape our coastlines and waterways and other natural environments by putting them underwater? That's interesting.

I felt so euphoric.

And then he gave me, I was like, you know, anyone else? Like I'm going by the Passamaquoddy reservation.

Um, any information on them he's like yeah actually contact this guy Donald Soctoma and so I contacted him and he was like I'm way too busy today but I figured I'd go and stop at the museum anyway and it turned out there he was at the museum with his son and he was like I'm you know I gotta go and he got up and left but his son um whose name is also Donald he took me on a tour around the uh the museum and then told me about what they're doing as far as a petroglyph preservation in the region and being taught the tools so it's not just like random European or just like outsiders going and doing the archaeology that it's for the indigenous people doing the archaeology and Yeah, he told me about that, so I got to interview him.

So it was like right off the bat, one day and a second day, I got two interviews.

I'm Anu Dudley with a piece about the element of wind.

According to a Passamaquoddy legend, long ago, the great wind bird, Wuchowsen, sat on a great rock far to the north at the end of the sky.

Whenever she moved her wings, the wind blew.

Wuchowsen spoke, saying, "I have been here since the beginning.

$100 million project covering 27 acres in the Bay of Fundy near Kendall Head.

Servers cooled by our ocean, turning Western Passage into an industrial heat sink." Locals and the Passamaquoddy tribe have been screaming about this for months.

Thermal pollution risks cooking the water that sustains our lobsters, scallops, and clams.
