Aaron Dana is a prominent member of the Passamaquoddy Tribe and currently serves as a Tribal Representative in the Maine State Legislature. As a non-voting member, he represents the interests of the Passamaquoddy people and advocates for their rights and sovereignty. Dana has been active in legislative efforts to extend federal benefits to the Wabanaki tribes, which include the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, and Mi'kmaq tribes in Maine. These efforts aim to rectify the exclusion of these tribes from federal laws that benefit other tribes across the United States due to a unique 1980 settlement agreement.
