Talks to settle a land claim between the Oneida Nation of New York and the state have apparently fizzled, leading on anti-sovereignty and anti-treaty rights group to call them a full-scale fiasco.

Oneida representative Ray Halbritter and the state said they were moving to settle the claim in February. But a court-appointed mediator hasn't been able to resolve the debate and has asked to turn in a report by December 1.

Oneida tribes in Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada, weren't included in the talks, although they too are part of the claim.
