Members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation rallied outside Southampton Town Hall in eastern Long Island on Tuesday night to urge the town to approve a deal to preserve sacred tribal land. The town is now poised to make a decision in June.
The Shinnecock people have sought for decades to protect an area in the Shinnecock Hills neighborhood of the Hamptons. It s known as Sugar Loaf Hill to the tribe, an ancient burial ground for their people.
The town is situated on land once entirely home to Shinnecock people and other tribes, including the Montaukett and Unkechaug tribes. Around 1,000 people live on the Shinnecock territory nearby.
