"A draft proposal of far-reaching
revisions to the Interior Department’s process for federal acknowledgment of
Indian tribes is being hailed as the best thing to happen in decades to a system
that’s been described as broken, long, expensive, burdensome, intrusive, unfair,
arbitrary and capricious, less than transparent, unpredictable, and subject to
undue political influence and manipulation."

There are no Eastern Pequot's
however, there always was, is and will be a Schaghticoke
Tribe.
"Blumenthal is perhaps best known in
Indian country for his successful effort in 2005 to reverse the federal
acknowledgment of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation (EPTN) and the Schaghticoke
Tribal Nation (STN), which were given Final Determinations in 2002 and 2004,
respectively.
After a relentless and orchestrated
campaign of opposition against the STN by local, state and federal elected
officials led by Blumenthal and an anti-Indian sovereignty group and its
powerful White house-connected lobbyist, Barbour Griffith & Rogers (BGR),
the BIA in an unprecedented move issued Reconsidered Final Determinations and
took away both tribes’ federal acknowledgment. (Related story:
