The Cayuga Nation of New York is buying more land to be placed into trust.
The tribe owns about 125 acres of ancestral territory. The land falls within the 64,000-acre former Cayuga Reservation.
The tribe applied to put the land into trust after the U.S. Supreme Court said tribes must follow the land-into-trust process to reassert sovereignty over ancestral properties.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, relying on the Supreme Court ruling, later dismissed the Cayuga land claim altogether.
The Bureua of Indian Affairs is considering the application, along with those filed by the Oneida Nation of New York and the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma.
