The state obatained about 64,000 acres of land from the tribe in various treaties it sought with the Cayuga. The land deals were never approved by the federal government, a key requirement of the 1790 Non-Intercourse Act. The testimony comes in the final phase of the Cayuga Nation land claims settlement. A jury in February decided the land was worth $36.9 million. US District Court Judge Neal P. McCurn. McCurn must now decide how much interest, if any, to award the tribe for the stolen land.
