The Oneida Nation has submitted a proposal to share jurisdiction on health and safety issues with Oneida County, New York.
The tribe and the county have been at odds over inspection of business on tribal-owned land. The county claims it has jurisdiction because the land is not held in trust.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in March 2005, ruled that the tribe couldn't assert sovereignty on its properties without going through the land-into-trust process.
The tribe has since asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs to have more than 17,000 acres in two counties placed in trust.
