MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2001 Two Maine tribes whose privacy rights case was turned away by the Supreme Court are telling a state court they don't have to turn over tribal documents outside of reservation boundaries. But neither do the Penobscot Nation and the Passamaquoddy Tribe have to allow outsiders access to their reservations in order to see the documents, said tribal lawyers. And the state can't tell the tribe where to make the documents public, the attorneys added. A state court has found the state's freedom of information act applies to some tribal documents. The tribe has been unable to have the ruling overturned. Get the Story:
