Mashpee tribe to hold rally on land rights
By Tanner Stening Posted Oct 1, 2018
MASHPEE — The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe will hold a rally Saturday centered on the importance of land sovereignty.
The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is meant to raise awareness of sovereignty “and its critical importance to the Mashpee Wampanoag,” according to a statement from the tribe.
The uncertainty of the trust status of the reservation poses a threat to the tribe’s programs and needed services, the statement says.
A walk will begin at the Mashpee Community Park on Great Neck Road North and end at the traditional powwow grounds next to the Community and Government Center at 483 Great Neck Road South. A potluck meal will follow, and authorities on indigenous rights will speak. The statement does not name the speakers.
A tribal spokeswoman said the event was open to non-tribe members.
