"In a press release, tribe Sagamore Po Wauipi Neimpaug, Council of Seven Royal House/Pokanoket Nation wrote that it is inexcusable that different Wampanoag tribes, including the Mashpees of Cape Cod, are barring the Bristol County tribe from participating in the sacred event in its historic home." - AGREED -THEY SHOULD ATTEND. The general public should also be allowed to attend! The repatriation can be done in a solemn, respectful manner and still be open to the public. The Wampanoags are missing out on a great teaching opportunity. Shame on them.

That said, look out Warren. This is step 1 in the Wanpanoags reclaiming Burr's Hill, aka "The Royal Burial Ground". You heard it here first.

From: Pokanokets: We are being shut out of sacred Burr's Hill ceremony
