Minor point >>> Suier de Mont National Monument was created in 1916. February 1919 we get Lafayette National Park, and finally Acadia National Park 1929.
Morning Lincoln, who wrote, "lands were transferred to what was known in 1916 as Lafayette National park". ln 1916 POTUS Wilson signed into being, under the Antiquities Act of 1906, Sieur de Mont National Monument. Lafayette N.P. came into being February 1919.
COA should be shamed for not mentioning the fact that Ocean Properties allows illegal poisonous cruise ship tender emissions that amount to forcing locals and tourists alike to inhale high quantities of sulfuric acid, battery acid, when power pinning their tenders at the dock. Also it is totally nuts for them to laud the mooring of 40,000 idling semi trucks worth of SO2 emissions in plain view of their campus only ¼ -1/2 mile out in the bay.
Not to mention cruise ships killed 18+ Endangered North American Right Whales in a 3 year period up in the GSL in 2015,17, and 19. OP is presently suing the town to continue facilitating this ecological madness. And nonprofit COA publicly praises them for lending some temporary housing? Who cares !
My personal favorite quotable quote from COA occurred in the 1980s when amidst the uproar over the ecological destruction of rain forests COA chose to use tropical hardwoods in constructing a new library. One of the students attending the school at the time was quoted in the Bar Harbor Times as saying, "I was against the use of threatened tropical hardwoods in the library until I saw how nice they looked." My second most favorite quotable COA quote was when the then head of COA's Allied Whale was asked to respond to an issue negatively affecting whale populations. He responded by saying he didn't feel it would be appropriate for him to comment. I overheard a conversation a few days later when someone suggested that COA should change their degree from Human Ecology to Human Hypocrisy.
At one point, back when Stevey Smith was in court fighting for his right to build a front porch on the Otter Creek lobster shack on Otter Cove pictured above he shook his fist in the air and proclaimed “ I ain’t backin down from you berds “. I can just picture him hollering those same words at the cloud of seagulls stealing his lobster bait out of his bait barrel whenever he turned to pull a trap. Steve’s truly remarkable persistence has been a major reason for the revelation of wording that prohibits ANP from interfering with Otter Creeks traditional access to Otter Cove.
But wasn't the entire island stolen from indigenous people? Shouldn't it also be returned to them?

1929 was only a name change ... the national park already existed

On the weekend of Indigenous Peoples Day it seems appropriate to reflect on the full history of stealing land on MDI.

Zack Klyver and Scot Kraus. They almost destroyed the lobster fishery. I believe they both graduated from COA.
