Our Mission

The Preamble of the Constitution of the Sipayik Members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe states:

"WE, the SIPAYIK MEMBERS of the PASSAMAQUODDY TRIBE, People of the Dawn, adopt this Constitution in order to establish a democratic form of tribal government at the Pleasant Point Reservation; to protect our sovereignty and freedom of self-determination; to preserve our heritage and culture for our children and for our future generations; to insure equal rights for all Sipayik members of the tribe; and to create fair opportunities for the economic and domestic well-being of all Sipayik members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe."

Tribal Profile

The Passamaquoddy Tribe in the United States are represented by the Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe, with separate councils at the Pleasant Point and the Indian Township Reservations.

The St. Croix River (previously known as the Passamaquoddy River) serves as the USA/Canada International boundary.  The boundary cuts through the middle of the Passamaquoddy homeland.  The Passamaquoddy have occupied this watershed region for at least the past 600+ generations (12,000+ years).  This new USA-Canada boundary line was created about 200 years ago and was imposed on the Passamaquoddy.  There are many Passamaquoddy Tribal members still living on the other side of the St. Croix river in Canada.  The Passamaquoddy also have a Tribal Chief and Council in Canada known as the "St. Croix/Schoodic Band."  

The Governing Body for Pleasant Point is the Tribal Council. The Chief Administrator is the Tribal Governor (Sakom) and in his/her absence the Lieutenant Governor. Tribal Government is responsible for the administration of a variety of services and programs for the Passamaquoddy people. The tribal office is open for business Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

A total of 3,464 tribal members are listed on the tribal census rolls with 2,092 listed on Pleasant Point census and 1,372 on the Indian Township census.
