Cason to meet land-into-trust foes from New York
Thursday, September 14, 2006
Jim Cason, the associate deputy secretary at the Interior Department, is scheduled to meet with land-into-trust opponents from New York today.
The officials from Madison, Oneida, Cayuga and Seneca counties are fighting land-into-trust applications filed by the Oneida Nation and the Cayuga Nation. The tribes are reclaiming properties within their ancestral reservations.
The two meetings were arranged by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-New York). "The land-into-trust process is confusing and complicated, and the decisions the BIA makes within this process are profound and permanent," he said in a statement.
