Battle for Mashpee Indians versus whites over land suit
In Mashpee Massachusetts a federal suit by the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe against 132 white landowners divides a town of 2496. Indians seek 20 000 acres on Cape Cod interior coast with claims to land immemorial while whites fear loss of development and tax base. The case could force a nationwide shift in land rights and government guarantees.
