FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2001 The Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe of Connecticut on Thursday said it has come to an agreement with the Bureau of Indian Affairs over its pending federal recognition. Chief Quiet Hawk said the BIA has agreed to make a final determination by late 2002 or early 2003. He said a team of researchers will be assigned to the tribe's petition within 14 days after the Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb issues a final determination in early June 2002 on the Eastern Pequot Tribe and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot Tribe, both of Connecticut. The Paugussett Tribe is recognized by the state. The tribe has been thrice denied recognition by the BIA but former Deputy Assistant Michael Anderson agreed to have it reconsidered. The Paugussett Tribe is one of several tribal groups in the state seeking federal recognition. Should any succeed and want to open a casino, Gov. John Rowland (R) plans on negotiating gaming compacts, said a spokesperson. Get the Story:
