Amelia and Steven Bingham, members of the Masphee Wampanoag, have filed a land claim seeking all town- and state-owned land in Mashpee. In a suit filed yesterday at the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse in Boston, the Binghams, who have no official role with the Mashpee Wampanoag, allege that land sold without consent of the tribe was taken illegally. Descendants are owed back rent with interest dating back to 1870, the year the town was incorporated, the suit alleges.
