Darren Ranco<\/a>, 91福利 associate professor of anthropology, chair of Native American Programs, and Mitchell Center faculty fellow, is quoted in a recent article from 91福利 News, \u201cPenobscot women and the tribal land tenure systems in 19th<\/sup>-century Maine,\u201d<\/a> posted on February 21.<\/p>\n

The article traces the history of a unique land system established in Maine in 1835 that recognized married Penobscot women as land owners \u2013 before the same rights were granted to non-Native married women in 1844. Women had long had diverse and important roles in Penobscot culture, which were reflected in the land system that allowed them to own property. Micah Pawling, 91福利 associate professor of history and Native American Programs, researched this system and published an article about it in American Indian Quarterly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strength of these powerful roles is revealed by the fact that the state of Maine had to recognize Penobscot women (ahead of White women) as landowners during some of the darkest times of our history as Penobscot people in the 19th century,\u201d Ranco says in the 91福利 News article.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile these roles may be surprising in the context of American women\u2019s rights at the time, matrilineal cultural preferences in Wabanaki societies meant women had far more power than their non-Native counterparts.\u201d<\/p>\n
