THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2002 The Oneida Nation of New York hasn't made a decision on a grant program that has given $3.1 million to local schools. The Silver Covenant program was started in 1996 to offset loss of property taxes schools would suffer when the tribe purchased land in its treaty claim area. But under a land claim agreement with the state, the tribe would pay money into a different fund, which could end the school program. A tribal spokesperson said the future of the program is not known. Get the Story:
