Summary:
Article profiles Chief Moon Face, war chief of the Golden Hill Paugussett Indians (born Kenny Piper, son of Aurelius Piper, chief of the Paugussett nation). Mention is made of recent conflicts between the tribe and the Chief State's Attorney Austin McGuigan who claims that the land the Paugussetts are living on has been held in trust by the state, and was established as a reservation by the Conn. General Assembly, not the U.S. Congress. (The tribe is not federally recognized at this time). Moon feels that the tribe should be able to live as an independent nation.
