They are just going to use profits from this movie to try to steal land from white people in upstate New York.

Basically the state of New York violated the law and a treaty with Oneida to seize their land in the 1830s. What they did was rather intriguing. The New Yorkers first decided the Oneida were all white people. They then seized the land on the basis that white people there had no rights to the land.

They just kicked them out.

Then New York brought in what were essentially illegal aliens to take over the farms.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Oneida can elect to recover their land provided they pay for it.

I am very happy the Oneida are getting back that land.

Some of the "white" ancestors Obama and I share lived in what is now St. Lawrence County New York ~ but before the American Revolution when it was part of Oneida.

The Oneida had offered to sell that property to the Brits but the sale got delayed by war.

Guess that means Obama and I (and an awful lot of our relatives) could probably move back "up home" eh!

I am concerned with this head count of only 1,000 members. Without a lot of trouble I could double the tribe!
