MAY 16, 2000 Connecticut Governor John Rowland is seeking experts in federal Indian law and tribal sovereignty. Recognizing the complexity of Indian affairs, the governor anticipates his administration will need plenty of help as it becomes more involved with tribes in the state. The state is home to two federally recognized tribes, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and the Mohegan Tribe. Both operate successful casinos. The Eastern Pequot and Paucatuck Eastern Pequot, have recently received preliminary federal recognition. Two other state recognized tribes, the Golden Hill Paugussetts and the Schaghticokes are also seeking recognition. Get the Story:
