Recognition decision expected this week
MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2002

Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb is expected to issue a preliminary decision this week on the federal recognition of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation of Connecticut.

The decision is the first step in the process. After a public comment period, the Bureau of Indian Affairs issues a final determination, which can be appealed to internally and then to the courts.

The Schaghticoke Tribe is state-recognized and has a reservation.
