AUGUST 10, 2000 Upstate Citizens for Equality, an anti-treaty rights group in New York, says the forthcoming Onondaga Nation land claims suit is frivolous because the 1790 Non-Intercourse Act does not apply to Eastern tribes in the original 13 colonies. Like other tribes, the Onondaga are basing their lawsuit on violations of the Act. Several tribes have already been successful, including the Oneida Nation and the Cayuga Nation, fellow members of the Iroquois Confederacy. The Passamaquoddy land claims case involving the Maine is one of the first in the Eastern states to apply the law. But the UCE says it doesn't apply and will provide historical docuemnts to prove it.
