Content from Tomawanda Seneca Nation Land Claim:

Right now, the Indian Law Resource Center is appealing the court ruling on the Tonawanda Seneca Nation Land Claim case, dismissing it on cross motions for summary judgment. The Resource Center claims that the Seneca Nation was robbed of much if not all of it's historical and ancestral land in unlawful land deals with the State of New York. The appeal was filed in 2002 and when the lower courts made an unjust ruling, they refiled an appeal brief in August 2003 and debated it in court in October. The US Supreme Court said that the land that was supposedly sold without alerting Congress was in fact already in possession of the State Of New York due to the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua. This is the not the only time such reports have been filed, in fact, there have been many others. Often the tribes get either a bad ruling from a lower court or a shoo from the Supreme Court. The Cayuga nation, the Mohawk tribe, and the Oklahoma-based Seneca-Cayuga Tribe all lost their cases over land ownership because apparently they took too long to file their claim. The current Supreme Court has been accused of being the most anti-American-Indian Supreme Court in history and has been met with complaints by many influential people.


Is it really necessary to have seperate pages for the same Indian Reservation? Alangdon86 20:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. I've consolidated them all into this article. --JBC3 (talk) 22:13, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Population[edit]

As presently listed, the population totals for the reservation make no sense.

The lead paragraph states that 693 live on the reservation as of the 2010 census. The infobox shows a population of 2662 (also from the 2010 census), but also states that the population as of 2016 is ZERO. The county breakdown of the population uses both 2000 and 2010 census figures, and does not add up to any of the population totals previously mentioned.

I don't have the up-to-date data available to me, but if anyone out there does, a population update is sorely needed. 209.90.140.72 (talk) 00:49, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
