OCTOBER 18, 2000 Three Connecticut towns have rejected mediation with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and instead are calling on an investigation into the act which granted the tribe recognition and settled their land claims. Mediation was proposed by Representative Sam Gejdenson (D-Conn). He introduced the 1983 Mashantucket Pequot Settlement Act and said it was never intended to limit the tribe's reservation boundaries, which the towns dispute. The state lost its lawsuit against the Department of Interior, who attempted to take 165 acres of land into trust for the tribe. Get the Decision:
