Members of the Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribes attended the Maine Centennial celebrations in 1920, establishing an encampment in Deering Oaks Park in Portland, called "Indian Village."

During the encampment, Charles Lola (center left), Gov. William Neptune (second from right) and Noel Francis (far right) posed with Gen. Clarence Edwards (center).
