Editorial: Mohegan Tribe 'trail blazers'

TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2002

The Norwich Bulletin in an editorial today congratulates the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut for "returning to their roots as a people familiar with fishing."

The paper says the tribe's major aquaculture project will set the stage for others to follow. "The Mohegans, despite their history as a fishing people, really are trail blazers here," the editorial states.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave the tribe permission to use fishing equipment to harvest shellfish.
