An excerpt:
When it comes to the ongoing litigation between the Oneida Indian Nation and surrounding municipalities, it’s a long-running story with no end in sight.
The Oneida Indian Nation recently filed to bring its land-claim case to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the court accepts the case, it still might not be the end of 37 years of litigation over the roughly 250,000-acre claim.
If the court accepts the case, it simply would decide if the Oneidas are entitled to seek damages for the loss of that land. The nature of those damages still would have to be decided by a lower court if the sides couldn’t reach a negotiated settlement.
The issues between the Nation and the state and municipalities have been before the U.S. Supreme Court three times — two of which were related to the land-claim case.
“It’s the endless story, unfortunately,” Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente said.
The Nation had no comment on the filing.
