Stockbridge Munsee Oneida Nation, Packers acquires soar to new heights land STOCKBRIDGE, N.Y. (AP) - A Wisconsin Indian tribe has acquired 125 acres of farm- land, taking another signifi- cant step in re-establishing its presence in New York after an absence of nearly 170 years. ``We have long sought to re-establish our presence in New York state, our ancestral homeland,'' Robert Chicks, president of the Stockbridge- Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, said Wednesday. ``The reacquisition of this property, where our people once flourished, is yet another major step toward realizing our dreams of returning to New York,'' he said. The Stockbridge-Munsee were given the property by Trading Cove Associates, which bought the former Madison County dairy farm more than a year ago for $150,000, said Maureen Connelly, a spokeswoman for the Stockbridge-Munsee. ``Trading Cove transferred the property at no cost and with no conditions,'' she said. The farm is in the hamlet of Munnsville about 40 miles east of Syracuse, not far from the reservation and the Oneida's Turning Stone casino and resort complex. Trading Cove, which helped the Mohegan Tribe develop the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut, signed an agreement with the Stockbridge-Munsee 19 Photo by Phil Wisneski months ago to develop a Al Cecere, President of the American Eagle Foundation, holds up Challenger, the bald eagle, after his flight around Lambeau Field major casino in New York. during a halftime performance which included Oneida dancers and drum.

Earlier this year, Pataki opposed the tribe's request for a federal mediator to help set- tle its land claim. Pataki spokesman Joseph Conway indicated the state may not recognize the proper- ty as reservation land. ``This is irrelevant to any land claim or casino issues and really changes nothing,'' he said. Chicks said that based on past court decisions, the tribe considers the reacquired Stockbridge site sovereign land that would be free of property taxes and where it could create tax-free busi- nesses, including Class II gaming such as bingo and video poker. However, Chicks said he was not sure what will become of the Madison County land and that econom- ic development projects and cultural projects are under discussion. ``We haven't ruled anything in or out,'' he said. The land acquisition is the second in New York for the Wisconsin tribe.
