This tribe is related to the larger Maliseet First Nations of New Brunswick, Canada.[3] The Maliseet have traditionally occupied areas of the Saint John River valley, including its tributary, the Meduxnekeag River. When Great Britain and the United States established a boundary through this area under the Jay Treaty of 1794, the Maliseet were given the right to freely cross the border with Canada, as it was within their ancestral territory.[3] They belonged to the Algonquian languages family. The people now use English as their first language. They constitute nearly 6% of the population of Houlton. GovernmentThe Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians of Maine is governed by an elected six-member council. The current chief is Clarissa Sabattis (Pisuni Cihpolakon).[4] The tribe obtained federal recognition on 10 October 1980. Economic developmentThe Houlton Maliseet farm potatoes, barley, and clover on tribal lands. They also own a roller skating rink.[1] Notes1. ^1 "Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians." {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202223122/http://www.epa.gov/region1/govt/tribes/houltonmaliseet.html |date=2 December 2013 }} Region 1: EPA New England.
