wanda m sumner, teacher/counselor cape cod and the islands, stephanie Fulton, Thomas L Wilding, Frances Groen Send letter to journal: Re: northeastern tribes wmariesumner{at}aol.com wanda m sumner, et al.	Dear authors, As a teacher and mental health counselor, I have an interest in any research of the northeastern tribes, mainly capecod (wampanoag, montauk, pequot and any other northeastern tribe). Having nieces of the wampanoag tribe, I am interested in knowing the history of such research if any and having worked in the mental health field, can attest that domestic violence is high due to poor eduction, alcoholism and drug abuse, and possibly tribal laws not protecting women. Have the above tribes being recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs? Why is it that women cannot have laws protecting them from offenders from another tribe? and especially one that has sovereign status. If a tribe does not have recogniiton by the government, is it eligible for health care, education and financial assistance? finally, is the Montauk tribe part of the Mohegan tribe or a linkage from it? Thank you for your response.
