Kent Connecticut is the scene of a largely unknown struggle for reclamation of native American tribal lands. The Schaghticoke tribe is fighting to survive, the U.S. government has required native tribes to show the ownership of the land they live on since before colonization, under new guide lines they only have to show continuous existence since 1934. This allows the tribes to own the lands they exist on and even the lands now inhabited by newcomers (first white settlers). The Euro presence in the modern and past world has been noted by the conquest and indenturing of all native people wherever they went. This conquest resulted in the death and elimination of many people and their traditions. It is a far cry now from then as people we have all come to the realization that in order to survive as a species we need to work together beyond religious, color, ethnic and gender lines. Even “Star Trek” has moved beyond those barriers. Why can’t we?
