The Oneida First Nation of Ontario, Canada, has purchased a house on ancestral territory in New York.

The band sees the $61,000 purchase as a first step in reclaiming its homeland. About 600 band members are willing to relocate to the United States, a spokesperson said.

The Oneidas of New York, Wisconsin and Canada are part of a land claims suit against the state of New York and two counties.
