	Facts for Kids: Cayuga Indians (Cayugas)
		Yes, the Cayuga tribe was one of the original members of the Iroquois Confederacy.
		In times of war, Cayuga men often shaved their heads except for a scalplock or a crest down the center of their head (the style known as a roach, or a "Mohawk.") Sometimes they would augment this hairstyle with splayed feathers or artificial roaches made of brightly dyed porcupine and deer hair.
		The Cayuga tribe was known for their mask carving, which is considered such a sacred art form that non-Iroquois are still not permitted to view many of these masks.

		Given the Cayugas' silence at that time, the court presumed that they had simply taken the tack that the United States could adequately represent their interests, and that the Cayugas were content to pursue their claims against the individual State officials only.
		Therefore, despite the Cayugas' efforts to broaden the ejectment issue to include the possibility of long-term leases, the court adheres to its view that the only issue with which it is concerned now is whether the Cayugas are entitled to ejectment as a remedy for the loss of their homeland.
		In Cayuga III, this court granted the plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment and held that agreements entered into in the years 1795 and 1807 between the plaintiffs and New York State, wherein the plaintiffs purportedly conveyed to the State of New York the plaintiffs' interest in the subject land, were invalid.

	Cayuga Indians reach casino deal - News from The Post-Standard on Syracuse.com
		• The tribe would withdraw its pending land-into-federal-trust applications and agree to cap at 10,000 acres the amount of acreage it could designate as restricted-fee land -- or as sovereign and tax-free -- in its ancestral homeland around the north end of Cayuga Lake in Cayuga and Seneca counties.
		For years, the Oklahoma tribe has been jockeying for a casino in the state and most recently targeted Auburn as a host site for building a $400 million casino and resort.
		Reaching agreement, however, would finally resolve the counties' chief concern over how much sovereign land the tribe can acquire in both counties and the deal would pave the way for the tribe to gain economic prosperity with a Class III gaming hall with slot machines.

	Let the games begin: Seneca-Cayuga Tribe has legitimate claim : ICT [2004/09/14]
		The Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma got some good news on Sept. 1 when U.S. District Court Judge Neal P. McCurn, sitting in a Syracuse, N.Y. courtroom, ruled that the tribe is indeed a "successor-in-interest" to the historic Cayuga Indian Nation.
		The Cayuga land claim area is a 64,000-acre chunk of former reservation land illegally acquired by New York state in the early 1800s, for which the Oklahoma tribe and the Cayuga Nation of New York in 2001 were awarded $247.9 million in damages.
		One is whether or not the tribe's 229-acre parcel in Aurelius, N.Y., on which the tribe has proposed a Class II gaming hall, is in fact "Indian country." The second involves whether or not local municipal governments have any role in regulating or overseeing construction and operation of such a facility.
