We are the Métis Eastern Tribal Indian Society of Maine.
Métis are mixed blood people with aboriginal (First Nations) ancestry. We are one band of Métis people located in the North East USA, including but not limited to the state of Maine.
The word "Métis" is French and is most often associated with people of mixed Aboriginal/French ancestry, but, historically includes people of aboriginal and all
non-aboriginal ancestry.
The Métis of Maine may include anyone with First Nations ancestry, and ancestry from any other part of the world.

The Métis of Maine is a non-profit organization. We received a gift of land and an old farmhouse so we can educate people and leave something wonderful behind for future generations. We named the house, "Yellow Feather Cultural Center" in honor of the woman who donated her land to us.
The Cultural Center is our home. It has offices for our Chief to do his work, a library for our members, and is the focal point for meetings, gatherings and powwows. We host 2 powwows a year for the public and since the village is not yet complete we have a little video demonstration for people to see how our ancestors lived. The building is in need of repairs and we're hoping to someday have a nice new building to meet our growing needs (bigger meeting space, better library, better offices and kitchen). We have started a building fund for The Yellow Feather Cultural Center so we can make it a true learning center for our members and for the public.
We are also building an Indian Village on the grounds so visitors can experience life in an authentic Northern New England Native American encampment. The grounds are called, "Little Dove Woods". For more information on the campground,

Your donation would help us reach our goals a little faster.
