New York's legal power over Seneca Nation lands would end, if they agree.
This bill would end New York State's legal power over the Seneca Nation of Indians' lands. This change needs written agreement from both the U.S. Attorney General and the Seneca Nation.
Today, a 1948 law gives New York State legal power over the lands of the Seneca Nation of Indians. If this bill passes and gets the required agreements, that specific state power would no longer apply to those lands.
