The Schaghticoke Indian Tribe is looking to block a rival faction's $610 million lawsuit against the state for allegedly taking reservation land without paying more than a century ago.
In a motion to intervene filed Monday night in Hartford Superior Court, the tribe claimed it “exclusively possesses, controls, and maintains title to the Schaghticoke reservation in Kent including the land and funds that are the subject matter of this lawsuit.”
The tribe and the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation have battled for decades over who truly represents its members.
