Rolling back the frontier
MPBN: Home Series, Moving Image, 0:26:45

In the 1600s, European settlers left everything they knew to take advantage of Maine’s abundant resources. Despite back-breaking work, a harsh climate, and cultural clashes, they successfully carved out a new life for themselves. But by the end of the century, most of them would leave Maine in fear and live for years as war refugees.

View 1725, Dummer's Treaty
UMaine Wabanaki Studies, Text

Several groups of Mi'kmaq sign the Mascarene's Articles, as do the Maliseet, Penobscot and Passamaquoddy leaders. The Penobscot ratify Dummer's Treaty at Falmouth, Casco Bay, Maine, and promise to bring delegates from other Indigenous Nations to sign. After returning home, the Penobscot dispute the article that implies the Penobscot would join the English to fight other Indigenous Nations if they broke the Peace. The Kennebec and Arresaguntacook sign the Dummer Treaty and agree to fight with the English to keep the Peace.

As Europeans began to look seriously towards Maine as a desirable economic region, there were many debates about who owned or controlled the varied and plentiful natural resources, especially timber. In the mid-1800’s, the timber harvest from the communities in the far north woods traveled via the river communities to the prosperous coast where the wealth of natural resources set sail for the world beyond. Today, these distinct regions remain intact, each with a different story to tell about how history has played itself out since that time.
