The Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission (MITSC) is an inter-governmental entity created by the Maine Implementing Act of 1980. Six members are appointed by the State, two by the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, two by the Passamaquoddy Tribe, and two by the Penobscot Indian Nation. The thirteenth, who is the chairperson, is selected by the other twelve. With a small budget MITSC operates with a Managing Director as its only full-time employee, and a part-time Administrative Assistant.
