Protect the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe from the Trump administration’s attacks.
This alert was dated April 1, 2020
On Friday, the U.S. Department of the Interior ordered that the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe’s reservation land be disestablished.1
The Mashpee Wampanoag, the People of the First Light, have occupied the same region for over 12,000 years and have faced diminishment of their homelands since colonization. The latest decision is a blow to tribal sovereignty and undermines the future and sustainability of the tribal nation.
The Tribe is asking Congress to protect its reservation lands and has put forth the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation Reaffirmation Act (H.R.312). We are asking for signatures in support of this legislation.
The Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, the very tribe that welcomed the Pilgrims in the 1600s, is at risk of losing what is left of their homelands due to a determination made by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Massachusetts Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren call this out as “craven political games the Trump administration tries to play.”2
The Mashpee Wampanoag tribe’s citizens are currently suffering a massive loss of resources and services due to the uncertainty of the trust status of the reservation.
Millions of dollars of funding are being lost or delayed for the clean water program, children’s education through the Mukayuhsak Weekuw immersion pre-school, and kindergarten and critical community service programs.
This is also a direct threat to emergency services, housing, and substance abuse programs that are desperately needed to combat the opioid epidemic.
These are just a few of the ways this decision is impacting the community and children.
