175. Should they be recognized as a VT tribe...

if the tribe moved though VT, but has not lived on that land for the required period of time?

"He didn't support the tribe in Vermont and denied them a casino but he will now support them in their efforts in gaming.....as long as it's not Vermont? Sheesh. Pretty bizarre."

What spin... you must be dizzy. Dean did not deny them a casino... he doesn't have that authority. He denied them a state level tribal recognition, which they wanted so they could sue for federal recognition, which they need to build a casino. Dean says he will support federally recognized tribes in gaming, which the Abenaki do not have.
