Court Rules In Case Involving Narragansett Tribe, Gas Pipeline

(Undated)--The U.S. Court of Appeals last week made a decision on a case involving the Narragansett Indian Tribe.The tribe petitioned for a review of an order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission denying its motion to intervene in a natural gas pipeline certificate, claiming the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company was authorized to build a pipeline across sacred tribal grounds in Massachusetts.In a decision issued by the federal appeals court, it was noted that the tribe lacked standing to seek relief because by the time it filed its petition for review, the damage was already done.
