Massachusetts Tribe, Town Agree on Safety Improvements

Litigants in a federal trial over whether the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) must seek permitting from the town of Aquinnah on Martha’s Vineyard before it builds a Class II casino paused in their battle—and reached a small agreement. In a move lauded by Tribal Chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais (l.), the tribe will be allowed to secure the construction site.
