Oneida Nation to fight for gaming compact


The Oneida Nation of New York says it will ask the state's highest court to hear its tribal gaming compact lawsuit.

The tribe signed a Class III gaming compact in the 1990s. But it was thrown out because the state legislature didn't authorize it, a lower court ruled.

The compact was challenged by Upstate Citizens for Equality, a group oppose to the Oneida land claim and tribal sovereignty.
