The Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts has filed permits with the town of Aquinnah for a shed and dock that led to a landmark state court case.

The tribe had built the shed and dock without local approval. The state's highest court later ruled that the tribe can be sued for not complying with the town's land-use laws.

The tribe and the town have since come to a land-use agreement that was presented yesterday. It requires tribal, town and local voter approval.
