Narragansett Tribe looking to talk land-into-trust with governor
Posted: Tuesday, July 24, 2012
The Narragansett Tribe wants to discuss land-into-trust issues with Gov. Lincoln Chafee (I).
The tribe lost the right to follow the land-into-trust process as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in Carcieri v.
Salazar.
The ruling found that the tribe wasn't "under federal jurisdiction" as of 1934.
Separately, a state law requires the state to oppose the tribe's land-into-trust applications.
