Hearing postponed on Onondaga claim
A hearing to consider a motion to dismiss the Onondaga Indian Nation's land rights action has been postponed in favor of an in-chambers conference set for 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 27, in front of U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence E. Kahn, based in Albany.
The Onondagas are asking that a 4,000-square-mile area of central New York, including the eastern half of Cayuga County and running between Lake Ontario and the Pennsylvania border, be declared their property based on the argument their original ownership of the land was violated by European settlers and their American descendants. The Onondagas do not seek to evict current owners or to receive monetary remedies.
But the state argues that the Onondagas' lawsuit must be dismissed just as in other recent court decisions that found that New York tribes' land claims were disruptive because of the passage of time.
