The landmark Oneida Supreme Court decisions of 1974 and 1985
testify to the fact that the Iroquois' day in court has finally
arrived. Although Indian petitions to regain their shrinking land
base have generally caught the non- Indian public by surprise, land
rights have been an issue for the Iroquois for the past two-hundred
years. This book provides a balanced appraisal of the land claims
made by several of the Iroquois tribes. By drawing upon the
viewpoints of those who have a direct stake in the land claims'
outcome-Iroquois, attorneys representing or defending against the
claims, expert witnesses-and those who have extensive knowledge of
the controversy, this book reveals the complexity of the issues.
While there is no easy way to resolve these claims, the uniquely
qualified contributors stress that a negotiated settlement is
preferable to a litigated one. The fact that these cases have had
to be brought to court, even to the Supreme Court, is evidence of
the seriousness of the issues involved. This timely book strikes a
balance among the various parties to the land disputes, proving an
invaluable resource to academics, students, legal professionals,
policymakers, and the public at large.
