Chief Pharaoh Wyandank of the Montauks seeks to recover valuable Montauk Point land in a suit against the Long Island Railroad and the Frank Benaya heirs. The case hinges on a disputed 19th century taking and could curb plans to convert Montauk Point for transatlantic steamship service. The land, valued near $2 million, would fall under Interior Department reserve if the tribe wins. The Montauks, about 300 people, are dispersed across Long Island.
