The Department of the Interior's Board of Indian Appeals has agreed to accept a filing by the state of Connecticut in opposition to the recognition of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation.

The IBIA doesn't usually allow the filing of reply briefs. But the board made an exception.

Former assistant secretary Neal McCaleb recognized the tribe last summer as the amalgamation of two groups.
