Narragansett Tribe Wins Land Settlement and 13 Percent Development
The Narragansett tribe reached a settlement with federal, state, and local officials over land in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Earlier this year the federal government granted 900 acres valued at $3.5 million. Despite the victory, some members call the land seizure unjust. The agreement permits development of about 250 of 1,800 total acres, with plans for housing yet details withheld. The tribe, once 50,000 strong, now numbers under 4,000, yet preserves rich traditions and social structure.
