		Whether New York's unauthorized acquisition of the land in 1795 subsequently was ratified by federally approved treaties in 1798 and 1802.
		Notwithstanding Section 8 of the 1793 Act, the State of New York, without federal participation or approval, negotiated directly with the Oneidas in 1795 for the purchase of some of the 300,000 acres that were reserved to them under their 1788 Treaty with the state and acknowledged by the Treaty of Canandaigua.
		In the 1788 Treaty with New York, the Oneidas ceded their lands (i.e., their right to occupy the lands) to the State; there was "reserved" from that cession some 300,000 acres, which had the effect of preserving the Oneidas' right to occupy those lands.

	New York State breaks off negotiations
		The State of New York today, in a move contrary to the wishes of the Mohawks, and of the Federal Judge hearing the case, broke off negotiations for a settlement of the Mohawk land claim in Northern New York.
		The Treaty guaranteed a reservation of 36 square miles drawn on a map (in the area of the present New York reservation and the village of St. Regis), two areas of one mile squares situated around mills the Mohawks had (now in the middle of Massena and Fort Covington), and meadows on the Grass River.
		New York's decision to terminate settlement talks appears to be motivated in part by a recent Supreme Court decision in "The State of Florida vs. Seminole" granting states broad sovereign immunity from lawsuits.

	Gewas Schindler has lacrosse to bear for Onondaga tribe - More Sports - NY Daily News
		ONONDAGA NATION, N.Y. - It's a frigid night in the snowy hills of central New York, the quiet deep, the stars everywhere in the fl sky.
		It's 240 miles from the serenity of the Onondaga Nation reservation (or the rez, as its residents call it) to the mayhem of midtown Manhattan, but for the 30-year-old Schindler, forward for the New York Titans of the National Lacrosse League and captain of the Iroquois national team, it is entirely worth it.
		The grandson of an Onondaga chief, Schindler has big eyes and fl hair, a given name that means "Clear as the Sky" and a last name that was given to his family by the white man - probably by a census taker around the turn of the century.

	The Citizen, Auburn NY
		SYRACUSE - The Onondaga Indian Nation has persistently protested that New York state stole its historic territory and the tribe was blocked from its day in court for nearly two centuries by the American legal system, tribal officials said Monday.
		The Onondagas filed a lawsuit in March 2005 that laid claim to 4,000 square miles in 11 upstate New York counties stretching from Pennsylvania to Canada.
		When New York made its land deals, the Onondagas, like other tribes, were the victims of “constant political, social and economic exclusion and oppression” and faced “intense and open racism,” said Chief Oren Lyons.

	Facts for Kids: Onondaga Indians (Onondagas)
		Yes, the Onondaga nation was one of the original members of the Iroquois League, or Kanonsionni in their own language ("league of clans.") The other member nations were the Mohawk, the Seneca, the Cayuga, and the Oneida.
		In times of war, Onondaga 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 "Mohawk." Sometimes they would augment this hairstyle with splayed feathers or artificial roaches made of brightly dyed porcupine hair.
		The Onondaga and other Iroquois tribes were known for their carved masks, which are considered such a sacred art form that outsiders are still not permitted to view many of these masks.

	Onondaga Reservation: Can a Sovereign Nation be controlled by State Tax Laws? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		History states that the State of New York signed five so-called "treaties" with members of the Onondaga Nation in 1790, 1793, 1795, 1817, and 1822, and these treaties supposedly allowed the state to acquire all of the Nation's lands except for the 7,300-acre territory where the Nation resides today.
		For generations The Onondaga Nation and the Haudenosaunee have faced poverty in their communities, a condition worsened by the recent economic downturn in Central and Upstate New York.
		Once New York State implements a system in which they are better able to track sales on reservations to non-natives, a bill may be passed that will require those non-natives to pay taxes.

	Onondaga Nation Land Claim
		The Onondagas-who were left with a corner of their original reserve after a series of treaties with state agents between 1793 and 1822—have a formidable argument, according to scholars and legal experts familiar with both sides of Iroquois land claims.
		NYS still pays members of Onondaga Nation $2,400 a year in treaty annuities, along with the annual provision of 150 bushels of salt—which was intended to compensate the Onondagas for the loss of the salt-rich deposits along Onondaga Lake.
		Clinton's Salt Treaty to the Onondagas began: "The Onondagoes do hereby cede and grant all their lands to the people of the State of New York forever." Onondaga chiefs refused to sign, and Clinton left frustrated but unrelenting, and went to meet with Oneidas, who also refused to sign away land.

	The Military Tract
		New York's quota, based on population, was four regiments but as late as March 1781 only two regiments had been activated.
		New York argued that since its militia was maintaining the Mohawk frontier it was fulfilling its obligation.
		Since the State of New York had a vast surplus of land and a need for two regiments of military men it decided to add 500 acres to the Colonial 100, and thus did arrive at the somewhat odd figure of 600 acres in its military lot.

		As the Seneca open their reservations to all and use their gaming rights to build casinos throughout western New York (even breaking federal law at the governor’s behest by building casinos off of reservation land), the Mohawk are closing themselves off to any outsiders, invoking their sovereignty and becoming self-sufficient in upstate New York.

	Living in Dryden: More on the Onondaga Land Rights case
		The Onondaga Nation seems intent on differentiating their case from others by calling it a "Land Rights action" rather than a "Land Claim," I think to emphasize that they don't plan to actually seize the land or sue landowners, but the underlying legal mechanisms are the same.
		As I mentioned before, Dryden is in a part of the disputed territory that is slightly different from previous successful New York State land claims, because the treaty in which the Onondaga ceded the land was signed before the Nonintercourse Act of 1790.
		that shows a pre-Revolutionary War boundary between the Cayugas and Onondagas that is somewhat to the east of the boundary the Onondaga Nation shows on their maps.
