Selectman Marsters: America and leave the township out of any decisions that need to <br /> be made. A sovereign nation is a ration un to itself. Sweden is a <br /> sovereign nation. Germany 'is a sovereign nation. All of these <br /> nations have their own sets of laws whether it be civil, zoning, or <br /> whatever. They don't have to abide by Mashpee town rules nor <br /> would the Tribal Council have to abide by Mashpee town rules. <br /> They would have to abide by state rules or national rules. That <br /> scares me a little bit. The second issue also while we are <br /> discussing sovereign nation, we have asked many, many tunes, <br /> what is the sovereign nation we are discussing'? Is it a small area`? <br /> Is it a large area? And, there is a neap. I know there is a reap. I <br /> haven't seen the map. It's at the IA saying, this is our soverei <br /> negn <br /> nation. So we don't even know how big or how small the <br /> sovereign nation,is. So, I'd still like to see that reap, so I don't <br /> think the tabs really broke clown, I think we were stuck on <br /> sovereign nation. I would clearly aright now whole heartily sit <br /> down and talk to the Tribal Council right now supporting any type <br /> of social or cultural, economic recognition, but I'm not willing to <br /> discuss sovereign nation. That's not something that I think the <br /> town wants to negotiate. I don't think the tori would want to be <br /> left out of the loop in terms of what they can and what they cannot <br /> o. Now,that possibly coup happen, if of course, they are <br /> approved by the IIA, So I think the big hang up Dere, is you know <br /> we didn't talk, but vie corresponded back and forth, we had <br /> communication back and forth. what it,basically boiled down to <br /> was the sovereign nation. we could not cone togrips with <br /> sovereign nation, and that is something that I don't support today. <br /> And, if we need to take a vote on that so the people of Mashpee <br /> know, where their leaders, the selectmen stand. And I'think maybe <br /> Dave's point is a good one and Chuckie says we haven't so maybe <br /> we need to take a vote right now to see where we stand as a board <br /> of selectmen. <br /> Selectman Leveille: One of the things that concerns me... <br /> Selectman.Cahalane; Let's wait when everything... <br /> Selectman Taylor: My biggest thing is the so erweign nation issue and if the way in <br /> which Kenny described it is correct, sovereign nation meaning that <br /> it was one nation be it England or Sweden or Finland or whoever. <br /> When talking to the U.S.,thea yes, I have a problem with that. If it <br /> doesn't mean that, I'd lila somebody to clarify that. I think that <br /> we should be sitting down and talking, knowing which ends each <br /> other is at and see where we can come to in the middle. Because I <br /> just don't believe in the sovereign nation part of it. I do believe the <br />
