Subject: Update to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's Land In Trust Status
To: <[email protected]>


Thank you to everyone who has signed the *Land is Sacred: Stand With the
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe*
<[link removed]>
petition. As an update, this Thursday, May 7th, there will be a hearing in
the U.S. District Court in Washington DC to hear the Tribe’s Motion for an
injunction against the attempt to remove their land from trust. For more
information, here is a link to a recent article:

If you'd like to do even more to support the Tribe, here are two more
action steps to take:

1) Contact Secretary of the Interior Bernhardt and/or Senator Hoeven,
Chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs, and let them know directly
that you oppose this action against the tribe. You can find their contact
information and respective scripts HERE

.

2) In advance of the May 7th court hearing, join in the virtual *Sacred
Fire Prayer Protest* where prayer fires and candles are being lit
nationwide in support of the Tribe and to denounce the Trump Administration
for attempting to disestablish their reservation. Light your candle/fire,
let it burn 1-4 days, and post a picture with the hashtag
*#StandWithMashpee*
<[link removed]>.

Thank you for all you are doing!
