Description
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) has filed a lawsuit to stop the development of a massive offshore wind energy plant in an area of Nantucket Sound that is sacred to the People of the First Light. The action names the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulations and Enforcement, its director Michael R. Bromwich and Secretary of the Interior Department Ken Salazar in their official capacities as defendants and cites multiple violations of the National Environmental Policy Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. © 2011 Indian Country Today Media Network, LLC, 7/14/11.
