Chairman of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, Brian Weeden, will speak today at a Senate Committee on Indian Affairs legislative hearing starting at 2:30 PM Eastern. The hearing will receive testimony on several bills, including S. 236, which would amend the Long-Term Leasing Act to authorize leases of up to 99 years on the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) Reservation — an important issue for Tribal sovereignty and future development.
