The original inhabitants of the Stockbridge area in my district in Massachusetts. they were the only tribe to serve with the colonists in both the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars. They also were the first Indians to be granted U.S. citizenship. Despite their contributions. they were unfortunately forced out of the Berkshires by the influx of white settlers. They then migrated to central New York in the 1780s. Continued pressure from white immigrants forced the Indians to settle eventually in central Wisconsin. The land which this legislation deals with is adjacent to the 2.250acre reservation set aside for the Stockbridge Munsee Community. Inc.. the corporate name for the Stockbridge tribe.
