More emphasis on tribe

This article needs more emphasis on tribe and less on trials of Marshall, Abramoff and Ring. The details of their offenses should be dealt with in articles devoted to them personally. While these scandals have been important, there are other issues for the tribe getting lost in all this.Parkwells (talk) 15:32, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tribal Chief

Mr. Wompimeequin Wampatuck of Rhode Island claims to be Tribal Chief of the Mattakeesett^[1] or Wampatuck Tribe (Mashpee people of Mashpee, Massachusetts), although he lives in Rhode Island and also bills himself as UN Ambassador to Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. This Facebook site (while unreliable for Wikipedia purposes) declares that Mr. Wompimeequin Wampatuck will attend the 15th session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues - ONU - at the United Nations (on their behalf, representing them, presumably as their tribal chief).^[2] It could be that enough members of the tribe with coherent influence in public relations have apppointed Mr. Wompimeequin Wampatuck to represent them at events of interest to them and topically related to indigenous peoples, which are held at the United Nations, so that Mr. Wompimeequin Wampatuck is termed an Ambassador (for them, or on their behalf) TO the United Nations. I find NO UN online publication which declades that Mr. Wompimeequin Wampatuck is an Ambassador to the United Nations for these people or for other peoples, but he seems often to hold court with public events of significant levels of organization which assert claims of indigenous peoples.

unclear

"On March 27, 2020, under the Trump Administration, the Tribal Council was informed by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs that reservation designation would be rescinded and, with the US Department of the Interior, over 300 acres of land would be removed from the federal trust." What does "with ...Interior" mean here? I don't understand the grammar.Kdammers (talk) 05:47, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
