November 3, 2008 MIDDLEBORO - Today the U.S. Supreme will take the case of
Rhode Island against the Narragansett Indians, who want to place land into
federal trust under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. Land transferred under
this act is exempt from most state and local laws and taxes. Rhode Island argues
the tribe is not covered by the act since it was not federally recognized until
after 1934. Massachusetts is one of 21 states that have signed on to the case filed by Rhode Island. The court’s decision will affect both the Mashpee and Aquinnah. A decision in favor of Rhode Island could close down Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun and impact the Mashpee plans for a casino in Middleboro. The Mashpee Wampanoag tribe was recognized last year.
