The Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe of Connecticut is submitting new information to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in hopes of receiving federal recognition.

In January, the tribe was denied recognition in a preliminary decision. The tribe says it has additional evidence to satisfy the BIA's criteria.

The tribe is state recognized.
