Statement regarding Supreme Court announcement - 10/17/11
Statement/ RE: Supreme Court announcement that the court will not review lower court ruling on the land claim as requested by the Nation and U.S. solicitor general
“This morning’s determination does not change the Oneida Indian Nation’s litigation strategy. The federal courts have ruled that the Oneida Nation reservation remains intact and that the Oneida Nation owes no taxes on its reservation. The Department of Interior has determined that more than 13,000 acres of the Nation’s re-acquired homelands should be transferred into trust. The Oneida Nation will continue the course of transferring its lands into trust while remaining open to discussing a resolution with any party that wishes to participate with respect and in good faith.”— Mark Emery, director of media relations, Oneida Nation Most PopularInformation, photos, video or graphics from www.OneidaIndianNation.com may not be republished, uploaded, posted or distributed in any way without the prior approval of Oneida Indian Nation Communications.
