Wunee Keesuq Tribal Family,
I wanted to share a quick update on a development relating to a renewed attack on our reservation by the same small group of individuals led by David and Michelle Littlefield. Earlier this year these same individuals tried to reopen their original lawsuit, but Judge Young rejected that effort. So now they have filed a new lawsuit that we are confident will not impact our plans for our reservation lands in Mashpee and Taunton.
Tribal family, rest easy knowing we will continue to stand strong against this unjust attack from this small group of people. The ancestral homeland that we have reclaimed will remain protected by our Tribe to preserve our culture, traditions, and economic development for generations to come.
For over 400 years, our Tribe has withstood egregious historical wrongs, and now is the time for these injustices to end.
Ahapây,
Brian Weeden
Chairman of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe
