What do you know about Maine towns and local government?
Maine has more than 500 municipalities, ranging from big cities to tiny towns. There are a lot of stories behind the place names and quirks of our local governments. While it can be fun to learn about that history, we must acknowledge that many towns have a history of violence, as land was stolen from indigenous people and granted to white settlers. The first question on the quiz reflects the fact that you are most likely on stolen land - and that the struggle to maintain Wabanaki sovreignty continues to this day.
