The leader of the
Schaghticoke Tribal Nation of Connecticut wants to meet with
President Bush.
Chief Richard Velky wants to press Bush on his tribe's federal recognition. The
Bureau of Indian Affairs, after making a favorable ruling,
reversed itself after an appeal from the state of Connecticut.
Bush will be in Kent, Connecticut, today for a fund raiser. Velky hopes the president will decide to visit him.
