Oneida Nation accused of ignoring properties


Officials in Madison County, New York, have submitted pictures of properties owned by the Oneida Nation that they say have fallen into disrepair.

The pictures were submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in opposition to the tribe's land-into-trust application. The county claims they are evidence that the properties don't need to be placed in trust.

A tribal spokesperson said the tribe is repairing and demolishing old buildings.
