''The Aroostook Indian'' was a newsletter published between 1969 and 1976 at Ricker College in Houlton, Maine. It was created by the Association of Aroostook Indians (AAI) to unite Maliseet and Micmac Indians living both on and off-reservation in the northern part of the state. The newsletter allowed for widespread announcements among the Indians of Aroostook County. It exemplified the measures the AAI were going through in order to unite those from the Maliseet and Micmac tribes. Community members, often from as far away as Boston, contributed short stories, announcements, recipes, poems, and other small pieces. ==Background== The newsletter was edited by AAI board members. They mobilized around the time the Maliseet and Micmac Tribes were seeking federal recognition. During that period Native American people living in northern Maine faced extreme poverty; Terrance Polchies and Tom Battiste, leaders of the AAI, were said to have been the first two Native American people to have graduated from high school. In ''The Aroostook Indians first issue, Polchies called upon "Indians in Aroostook to unite and work together, because as a group we will be stronger and more easily heard". The newsletter united the two tribes as they banded together to gain the respect and tribal accreditation they sought out for. However, the Maliseets received recognition far earlier, in 1980〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.maliseets.com/index.htm )〕 under the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act, whereas the Micmacs received federal recognition in 1991, with the passage of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs Settlement Act.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.micmac-nsn.gov/index.html )〕 As a result of these recognitions at separate times, the once united Maliseet and Micmac tribes have become divided.
