The Schaghticoke Tribal Nation of New York is seeking restoration of federal recognition first granted in 2004, then rescinded in 2006. The tribe has asked a New York appellate court to reverse the reversal, saying it was prompted by politicians who did not want the tribe to open a Connecticut casino. A third casino would invalidate the tribal-state contracts and stop the tribe’s basic contributions to the state.
