I have been upset with this change since it happened approximately 1994.  Recently our class had our 20-year reunion and it was a topic.  We were then and still now Indians.

Thank you Mr Palilla for saying what I was afraid was too trivial to express.  The feeling in the community seems to be saying, save the land, restore our traditions. Is this a tradition worth revisiting?  Maybe the former Newtown Indians can voice their opinions?

Respectfully,
