FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 2001 A federal judge in New York has accepted into the record a 10-year-old document that the Cayuga Nation and the federal government believe will increase the money the tribe is due for stolen land. US District Judge Neal P. McCurn will use the document as he decides how much the tribe is owed for 64,000 acres of land. The document purports to show that the tribe made numerous attempts in the past to seek redress on their land claim. The state of New York opposed the introduction of the document. They say the tribe hadn't made its claim until 1980. A federal jury last year determined the tribe is owed $36.9 million in damages for the land. McCurn is deciding how much interest to add to the claim, which the tribe says is as high as $1.7 billion. Get the Story:
