The Oneida Nation of New York is using two full-page advertisements to criticize their relatives in Wisconsin.

The ads, appearing in the Green Bay Press-Gazette and the Green Bay News-Chronicle, accuse Wisconsin tribal leaders of making threats. The ads say Wisconsin Oneida Chairwoman Tina Danforth and Vice Chairwoman Kathy Hughes are taking "highly divisive and provocative" steps that will prevent settlement of the Oneida land claim.

The New York Oneidas moved to settle the claim without including the Wisconsin branch. Danforth had written a letter saying her tribe was "fully engaged and committed" to a settlement.
