Yeah it’s super disgusting.Yeah it was all due to a non-Native casino interest not wanting the Mashpee to build one. The problem was that they couldn't stop the tribe from making a casino on their new tribal land, so they went an ultra scummy route and persuaded the courts that the tribe didn't even have legal standing to be a tribe at all. It was pretty horrific. The legal precedent it set, which can certainly continue to be a problem later on down the road with a less friendly administration, is ultra turbo fucked.
