Tribal Rift

Larry Fisher, chief sachem of the Mattakeeset Massachuset tribe, right, leads other tribal members in a traditional song honoring their land and ancestry along the Taunton River at Titicut Indian Reservation, Friday, Nov. 27, 2020, in Bridgewater, Mass. A rift has been widening between Native American groups in New England over a federal reservation south of Boston where one tribe is planning to build a $1 billion casino. The Mattakeeset Massachuset tribe contend the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe doesn't have exclusive claim to the lands under their planned First Light casino in the city of Taunton, as they've argued for years.
