MA Tribes Opposed to Cape Wind

Two Native American tribes from Massachusetts are objecting to the Cape Wind wind-turbine project, citing the potential damage to "spiritual sun greetings and submerged ancestral burying grounds." According to the Globe, the Aquinnah and Mashpee Wampanoag tribes want to add Nantucket Sound to the National Register of Historic Places. The Globe also reported that the tribes' opposition to the project could delay, but not necessarily stop, the entire project. People seem to like the idea of Cape Wind unless they like to sail there. Bostonist has a suggestion to solve the newest dispute: Attach a floating casino to the Cape Wind project.
