"Thankfully, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has moved quickly to end the latest attempt by the Golden Hill Paugussetts to claim lands in Fairfield and New Haven counties.
Blumenthal last week asked the U.S. District Court in New Haven to dismiss land claims filed by the tribe with the federal court and bring to an end the 14-year-old possibility that claims could arise if the Indian tribe won federal recognition.
But that has not occurred. The Paugussetts have twice been denied federal recognition by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Blumenthal's motion for dismissal is the proper course to lift any doubts about who holds proper title to the lands claimed once again by the Paugussetts."
