![]() State recognized tribe allowed to sue in Conn. Tuesday, July 22, 2003 The Connecticut Supreme Court in a unanimous decision upheld the right of a state-recognized tribe to bring suit in state court. The Schaghticoke Tribal Nation brought suit against a rival faction but a lower court dismissed the claim. The Supreme Court said the tribe has standing for a trespass action against the rival. Last December, the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation was denied federal recognition in a preliminary decision by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
