Opponents Want to Force Mashpees to File Legal Briefs

Opponents of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe don’t want the tribe and Chairman Cedric Cromwell (l.) to be able to continue to put off the appeal of the federal ruling that forced the Department of the Interior to withdraw the land the tribe owns from federal trust status. The opponents want the tribe to either withdraw its appeal or agree to move forward with briefs in the next 60 days.
