Subject: Hearing for Mashpee Tribe's Land in Trust Status Postponed To May
20
To: <[email protected]>


Dear Friends,

As a further update, the hearing that was originally scheduled for May 7,
2020 for the preliminary injunction against the Department of the Interior
(DOI) to halt its efforts to disestablish the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's
reservation, has been pushed to Wednesday, May 20, 2020.

The hearing will be held via video conference with public access available
through the Court's public teleconference. Notably, for now, the DOI has
agreed to extend the Tribe's Land in Trust status until June 5.

Until that time, your efforts directed to Senator Hoeven, Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, asking him to support the Tribe's
pending legislation (HR312, the Mashpee Wampanoag Reservation Reaffirmation
Act) will be especially helpful. Here again is a script you can use:

*My name is __________ and I reside at ____________ in [City], [State]. I
am a proud supporter of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and am calling to voice
my strong opposition to Secretary Bernhardt’s recent directive to
disestablish the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation and to ask Congress to
act quickly to enact HR 312 -- the Mashpee Wampanoag Reservation
Reaffirmation Act. *

*They are the first peoples of this land and extended their hands to the
European settlers in peace and friendship. I am calling to urge Senator
Hoeven to lead the effort to protect their Reservation from being
disestablished on his watch. *

*I urge Chairman Hoeven to take the steps needed to pass the bi-partisan
legislation, HR 312, that already has been passed by the House and now
awaits Senate action. *

*I want to ensure that my message reaches the ears of Senator Hoeven and is
shared with the rest of the Senate Committee for Indian Affairs. Thank
you. *
