Md. tribe pushes for bill to gain state recognition
Thursday, March 4, 2004
A Maryland State Senate committee heard testimony on a bill that would help the Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and Subtribes gain state recognition. Two state governors have denied the tribe status but those decisions were not final. The bill would send the tribe's petition to the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs for a ruling. The rival Piscataway Indian Nation opposes the bill, saying the confederacy only wants gaming. Critics also raise the same issue. The Bureau of Indian Affairs denied recognition to the confederacy in a final determination. The nation's petition is pending. Get the Story:
