Feds: Shinnecocks not a tribe

Growing up we heard the Feds recognize Unkechaug but New York State does not and vice versa for the Shinnecock. Or was it the opposite? Anyway some of their words were recorded by one of the Founding Fathers when they visited at the "Declaration of Independence" signer William Floyd's Manor, in whose house the British kept horses, and cut all his wood, according to history. Ironically, the U.S. Department of Commerce used to promote the Shinnecock Pow-Wow held around Labor Day weekend as one of the greater affairs of the United States. A Shinnecock casino might keep people away from the NY State Lottery and the Connecticut casinos whose high-speed boat from Manhattan was canceled.
