Who is Vera Francis?
Vera J. Francis is an American Indian educator, environmental activist, and community planner for the Passamaquoddy people. She resides in Perry, Maine within the Pleasant Point Reservation. Francis writes and speaks frequently about environmental issues and tribal politics in newspapers, at conferences and on websites.
As part of the non-profit Ntulankeyutmonen Nkitahkomikon, Francis has advocated for the environmental preservation of Pleasant Point-Passamaquoddy ancestral territory. Because Passamaquoddy ancestral homeland is now divided by the U.S.-Canadian border along the St. Croix river, Francis has been involved with legal proceedings concerning both the federal governments, including litigation between the Bureau of Indian Affairs, members of the Passamaquoddy-Pleasant Point Reservation, and Liquefied Natural Gas company Quoddy Bay LNG.
