The Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation asked the Interior Board of Indian Appeals to reconsider the tribe's federal recognition decision.
The tribe normally would have to file a lawsuit in federal court after being denied recognition. But the tribe says it has grounds to ask the IBIA to reconsider.
It was the IBIA that threw out a decision that favored the tribe. After another review, the Bureau of Indian Affairs determined that the tribe didn't qualify for federal status.
