Mashpee Wampanoag Gets Support From National Indian Congress
10/26/18Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Chairman Cedric Cromwell is continuing to push for support of his tribe's effort to have its land secured into federal trust.
Support was given at a convention for the National Congress of American Indians this week on the passing of the Mashpee Wampanoag Reservation Reaffirmation Act.
The Indian Congress also voted to support the Wampanoag's new lawsuit filed against the Trump Administration, which challenges the Interior Department's recent decision that it could not hold the land in trust.
