New York homeowners are putting themselves at risk of eviction by appealing the Cayuga Nation land claim, a tribal attorney has said.

A federal judge ruled against eviction. But the tribe's lawyer said the homeowner's challenge raises the possibility they will be kicked off their land.

U.S. District Judge Neal McCurn decided the tribe was owed $250 million for 64,000 acres of land. Two counties and the private landowners are challenging the validity of the tribe's claim.
