  • Delaware Indian Land Claims: a Historical and Legal Perspective
    Delaware Indian land Claims: A Historical and Legal Perspective DAVID A. EZZO Alden, New York and MICHAEL MOSKOWITZ Wantagh, New York In this paper we shall discuss Delaware Indian land claims in both a histori­ cal and legal context. The first section of the paper deals with the historical background necessary to understand the land claims filed by the Delaware. In the second part of the paper the focus is on a legal review of the Delaware land claims cases. Ezzo is responsible for the first section while Moskowitz is responsible for the second section. 1. History The term Delaware has been used to describe the descendants of the Native Americans that resided in the Delaware River Valley and other adjacent areas at the start of the 17th century. The Delaware spoke two dialects: Munsee and Unami, both of these belong to the Eastern Algonquian Lan­ guage family. Goddard has noted that the Delaware never formed a single political unit. He also has noted that the term Delaware was only applied to these groups after they had migrated from their original Northeastern homeland. Goddard sums up the Delaware migration as follows: The piecemeal western migration, in the face of white settlement and its attendant pressures during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, left the Delaware in a number of widely scattered places in Southern Ontario, Western New York, Wisconsin, Kansas and Oklahoma. Their history involves the repeated divisions and consolidations of many villages and of local, political and linguistic groups that developed in complicated and incompletely known ways. In addition, individuals, families and small groups were constantly moving from place to place.

  • Indigenous People of Western New York
    FACT SHEET / FEBRUARY 2018 Indigenous People of Western New York Kristin Szczepaniec Territorial Acknowledgement In keeping with regional protocol, I would like to start by acknowledging the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and by honoring the sovereignty of the Six Nations–the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Seneca and Tuscarora–and their land where we are situated and where the majority of this work took place. In this acknowledgement, we hope to demonstrate respect for the treaties that were made on these territories and remorse for the harms and mistakes of the far and recent past; and we pledge to work toward partnership with a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.

  • Plant Rarity Under Federal and State Laws and Regulations
    Plant Rarity Under Federal and State Laws and Regulations Various government laws, regulations and policies protect rare plants. Probably the most surprising aspect of rare plant protection is that, unlike animals, plants are the property of the landowner whether that might be an individual, corporation, or government agency. This means that the protection of rare plants is under control of the landowner unless, in some cases, a government-regulated action is affecting them. Then the government entity regulating the action may require that protection efforts take place to preserve the rare plants and their habitat. Federal Law One of the results of the environmental movement of the 1960s and 70s was the enactment of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (https://www.fws.gov/endangered/laws-policies/index.html). The Act was designed to prevent the extinction of plants and animals, addressing problems of both exploitation and habitat destruction. The Act defines an endangered species as any species of animal or plant that is in danger of extinction over all or a significant portion of its range. A threatened species is defined as one that is likely to become endangered. The Act regulates the "taking" of endangered and threatened plants on federal land or when they are affected by federal actions or the use of federal funds. Specific protection is outlined in the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and states: It is unlawful for any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to: import any such species into, or export any such species

  • Curing the Tribal Disenrollment Epidemic: in Search of a Remedy
    CURING THE TRIBAL DISENROLLMENT EPIDEMIC: IN SEARCH OF A REMEDY Gabriel S. Galanda and Ryan D. Dreveskracht* This Article provides a comprehensive analysis of tribal membership, and the divestment thereof—commonly known as “disenrollment.” Chiefly caused by the proliferation of Indian gaming revenue distributions to tribal members over the last 25 years, the rate of tribal disenrollment has spiked to epidemic proportions. There is not an adequate remedy to stem the crisis or redress related Indian civil rights violations. This Article attempts to fill that gap. In Part I, we detail the origins of tribal membership, concluding that the present practice of disenrollment is, for the most part, a relic of the federal government’s Indian assimilation and termination policies of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In Part II, we use empirical disenrollment case studies over the last 100 years to show those federal policies at work during that span, and thus how disenrollment operates in ways that are antithetical to tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Those case studies highlight the close correlation between federally prescribed distributions of tribal governmental assets and monies to tribal members on a per-capita basis, and tribal governmental mass disenrollment of tribal members. In Part III, we set forth various proposed solutions to curing the tribal disenrollment epidemic, in hope of spurring discussion and policymaking about potential remedies at the various levels of federal and tribal government. Our goal is to find a cure, before it is too late. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................................... 385 A.

  • How the Past Conspires with the Present and What City of Sherrill V
    Grave but Ancient Wrongs: How the Past Conspires With the Present and What City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation and Oneida Indian Nation v. Madison County Hold for the Future of Tribal Sovereignty Christopher Y. Bosch “Unlike the executive and legislative branches of government, the judiciary cannot turn a deaf ear in the face of disputes such as these. Rather, a judge must put aside any personal opinions or ideas and apply the Constitution, Treaties, and laws of this great country.”1 I. Introduction City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation2 was decided by the Supreme Court on March 29, 2005. The issue presented was whether the Oneida Indian Nation of New York (hereinafter Oneida or Nation) could avoid state taxation by asserting sovereignty over parcels of reservation land that were long ago sold to non-Indians in violation of the Non-intercourse act and recently reacquired by the Nation in open-market transactions. In its opinion, the Court holds that “standards of federal Indian law and federal equity practice”3 preclude the Oneidas from reviving ancient sovereignty over the land. In its analysis, however, the Court relies on the common law doctrines of laches, acquiescence and impossibility to the near exclusion of federal Indian law. Moreover, there exists ample evidence to suggest that the Oneidas sought redress from state and federal governments for many years and were denied a forum in both state and federal courts, thereby seriously calling into question the application of laches and acquiescence. The more pressing issue, however, is what practical effects this decision will have on the future of tribal sovereignty.

  • Oneida Indian Nation: a Personal History
    Oneida Indian Nation: A Personal History Kandice Watson February 25, 2016 Kandice Watson is the Director of Education and Cultural Outreach for the Oneida Indian Nation, and is also Director of the Nation’s Shako:wi Cultural Center. y name is Kandice Watson. I am a member of the Oneida Indian Nation of New York. There are M three Oneida Indian Nations—two are in the United States (one in New York and one in Wisconsin), and the other is in Oneida, Canada. They are all independent of each other. They have their own governments, their own rules, their own everything. I am from New York, and I moved to the Oneida Indian reservation when I was about six years old, in about 1971. In case you are not aware—I was not aware of this myself until a few years ago—the area here around Juniata College has a very strong connection with the Oneida Indian Nation. I do a lot of traveling, and my husband and I drive through Pennsylvania to get to Washington, D.C., and every time we come through Pennsylvania we try to go a different route. One time we found ourselves driving through Oneida, Pennsylvania, and we wondered why on Earth there is an Oneida, Pennsylvania. When I got home I did some research and found out about Juniata and Oneida and the reason why they are here. There used to be an Oneida village here, a long time ago in the mid-1600s. We all know about Captain John Smith. He was the one who was with Pocahontas.
