WAMPANOAGS CONTINUE
The Mashpee Wampanoag tribe said Tuesday that a favorable opinion on its land bid from the federal government was a ‘‘huge step forward’’ in its effort to build a $500 million casino in southeastern Massachusetts. The Mashpee Wampanoag, a landless tribe that achieved federal recognition in 2007, has cited strong historical ties to Taunton, which is about 40 miles from the tribe’s headquarters in the town of Mashpee. The tribe has cited historical evidence that in Cohannet, Taunton’s former Indian name, the tribe had villages and sachems, or chiefs.
‘‘Tribal members and our advisers worked tirelessly to document our historic ties to Mashpee, Taunton and our ancestral homeland encompassing present-day southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island,’’ Cromwell said in his statement.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission has considered opening up the southeastern Massachusetts casino license to commercial applicants, but decided on Dec. 18 to give the Mashpee three more months to demonstrate progress in overcoming legal and regulatory obstacles.
