Which one will host a museum that truly honors the history, the land and it's people?<br />Both tribes claim Pocasset, Pokonoket and Seekonks tribal lands and history as their own. They haven't a clue as to this areas history and tribes...Being Federally recognized seperately pit tribe against tribe. <br />Lets face it without Jackie O's land neighboring the reservation, Aquinnah never would have gotten recognized without the other Pokonoket tribes on the main land. <br />Mashpee is a political machine thanks to the corrupt state office of Indian Affairs who has tried to take Pocasset soverign reservation for Mashpee for years now... heck they even started a new tribe called Assonet to take the Pocasset family lands given to them by the state in 1939. This was done deliberately to weaken the State recognized tribes.<br /> People are easily confused when you toss Dighton Inter Tribal into the mix...who host numerous powwows in Taunton and Dighton but have a number of "wannabees". I don't see Mashpees or Aquinnahs at anything local not Peace Haven/ Meditech hearings...not Taunton powwows, not Dighton powwows...and certainly not defending the sacred ground around Dightons Council Oak which is threatened to become a gravel pit...The gravel pit wants to use the soil in Taunton...mayby to fill in the wetlands of Mashpees industrial park casino? <br />Who will bring honor back to the once proud Wampanoags?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759915552923848328.post-41145030334874835012012-05-08T17:54:10.813-04:002012-05-08T17:54:10.813-04:00Could not have said it better Mr Moniz.It is a sha...Could not have said it better Mr Moniz.It is a shame what Cedric Cromwell and his Posse are doing to this tribe all in the name of a big pay check and perks like credit cards trips free tickets to events for them and their family all that the tribe has and will pay back.Joannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759915552923848328.post-76396213708494902692012-05-08T14:30:25.473-04:002012-05-08T14:30:25.473-04:00Genting bought a Tribal Council and quite a few Tr...Genting bought a Tribal Council and quite a few Tribe members with big salaries and perks. None of them had ever seen this kind of money before. Cromwell was fired from his affirmative action nothing job. Harding has a business that does not make enough to pay his subs. Tobey is a postal employee. Marie Stone is otherwise unemployable. Add to that the Tribe members who think that they will have restaurants or high paying jobs in a new casino. You get the picture.<br />Cromwell and his entourage treat the citizens of his own tribe like subjects of his buzzard feather crown, how do you think he will treat the citizens of Taunton?Antone Moniznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759915552923848328.post-65629364445566445772012-05-08T12:29:57.187-04:002012-05-08T12:29:57.187-04:00Who do you think is paying for the PR and everythi...Who do you think is paying for the PR and everything else not eh tribe itself.The tribe does not have any money except for grants (which can not be used for any of this.) So who do you think is paying for all of this to the tune of 17% interest no matter what Cedric Cromwell tells to his tribal members.Look at the money Genting spent in Florida to no avail.A real tribal membernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759915552923848328.post-51417025903004787192012-05-08T12:26:51.315-04:002012-05-08T12:26:51.315-04:00How did the U.S. Government allow this to happen? ...How did the U.S. Government allow this to happen? De facto foreign ownership of Indian tribes to export casino cash out of the country is obscene.
