Margot Milliken was born in 1952 and spent her childhood in Eastchester, N.Y., a small town near New York City. After college, she lived in Boston and Hawaii, and moved to Cumberland, Maine, in 1985, where she has lived for 29 years. Margot is married to Roger Milliken, who manages forest land in Washington County. She has two children, Max, 29, who teaches middle school in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Tara, 23, who is a college student in Colorado.
Margot has been a volunteer at her children’s schools, and for organizations that support women and girls. She likes to hike, swim, do yoga and cook.
Margot is looking forward to being with the communities at Indian Township and Pleasant Point, and is grateful to the TRC and REACH for inviting her to participate in statement gathering. She believes that the vitality and health of Native people and communities is essential for planetary wisdom to evolve. She is committed to supporting Native people in Maine to be grounded in their own experiences and knowledge, and for non-Native people to see them with respect.
