The Onondaga County Legislature will vote next Tuesday on a bill to transfer land to the Onondaga Nation in New York.

The tribe wants to reclaim the 36-acre Murphy's Island, on the Onondaga Lake shoreline. The site is considered sacred because the Peacemaker traveled across the lake to the area.

The bill is non-binding but it would help the tribe obtain the land, which is currently designated as park land.
