Leaders of the Onondaga Nation of New York attended Honeywell International's annual meeting on Monday to push for the cleanup of Onondaga Lake.
Tribal leaders told the company that a proposed $451 million cleanup is inadequate. They want the entire lake dredged, rather than the scaled-back plan sought by Honeywell.
Onondaga Lake is one of the tribe's sacred sites. The tribe has filed a land claim lawsuit to seek the cleanup of the lake and other lands.
