Had no idea about the Ramapo and Kent (Kent, CT or Kent, NY?)

Kent, CT although last I heard the corporation does have holdings in NY but I'm in no way aware if its contiguous to what else they have or how big.

I am gob-smacked (to steal a favorite term from my British friends). I only knew of the Schaghticoke gfight with the feds for property and tribal land recognition (actually, basic tribal status - they have some land). Thanks again!

I'm really not familiar with the recent Schaghticoke on-goings but I do remember some drama about that.
If you really want a wild, wild ride the Golden Hill tribe in Bridgeport is a great encapsulation on a whole lot of threads about Native history. Granted though there's a lot of tragedy in that too.

Is that the group that owns the equivalent of a residential property in (I think) Trumbull, or somewhere close by? I believe it's listed as a reservation or official tribal property if a Google search is done
