The Seneca County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a new law aimed at shutting down the Cayuga Nation's bingo hall.
The tribe is operating the Class II establishment on ancestral land. Under the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Sherrill v. Oneida Nation, the county says the land isn't held in trust and is therefore subject to local laws.
The tribe has asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs to take its land into trust.
