Tribal members shutdown Council meeting

The core of the Tribe sent Cedric and his supporters a strong message. They will not be abused anymore.

Well over 120 Mashpee Wampanoag showed up at the Council meeting tonight and refused to leave the chambers, prohibiting the council from going into executive session. The  Council voted 6-3 to hold the secret meeting to sanction and possibly remove council member Carlton Hendricks, Jr. for charges made by Treasurer Gordon Harris.  Harris claimed  that Hendricks disparaged him and needed to be removed from the council. Similar frivolous claims were launched against new council member Rita Gonsalves and returning adversary Aaron Tobey. Those claims are on the agenda for Thursday.
