Right after they pay the 300 years of back taxes.

Indian tribes do not pay local property taxes to any state on qualified reservation land. If this 3600 acres is part of a royal grant to the Shinnecocks, it may be a reservation under the terms of the legal precedents established.

Present occupants of the land may find themselves with a cloud on the land title.

Taxes will be paid after the tenants pony up the 300 years back rent.

[fish hawk]

You are wrong on two accounts. First , the taxes wouldn't go back for the whole three hundred years. At most maybe one hundred and I doubt that. Second, if they win the court battle and in fact prove the land is theirs, there would be NO taxes whatsoever. There are no taxes on Indian land. And on top of all that. If they do own the land the back rent would be hundreds of times more than any taxes you could come up with.
