US Supreme Court Upholds Tribal Lands

Today we celebrate a legal and moral victory that brings to our Tribe justice that has been very long overdue.  The United States Supreme Court announced that it would not hear the appeal requested by a small group of Taunton residents who have challenged our right to our Reservation for nearly a decade.  With this final legal victory, we secure the future for the generations who come after us, and we honor our ancestors who continued the fight to have ancestral land returned to us.  With this victory, we will be able to fully exercise our sovereignty to provide for our people and to preserve our culture and traditions.
