The Pocasset Wampanoag
Tribe is inviting tribal, state and federal officials to its powwow in March to discuss rumored plans for a casino on the Watuppa Reservation in Massachusetts.
But Chairman George Spring Buffalo doesn't expect the federally-recognized Mashpee Wampanoag
Tribe to show up. He says the Mashpees are wrongly trying to claim the Watuppa land for a casino.
"They are not into talking. If they had, they would have done so before stepping on our territory," Buffalo told The Fall River Herald News. "They have disrespected us and as far as I am concerned, we have nothing to talk about."
The Pocassets were deeded the original reservation in 1709. The tribe is recognized by the state but not by the federal government.
